Improving neuropsychological seizure lateralization in Spanish-speaking people with epilepsy in the US: The need to account for education and demographic differences

ConclusionThis study demonstrated the clinical utility of the NeSBHIS in seizure lateralization in a large cohort of Spanish-speaking PWE by analyzing standardized scores based on refined, education-based normative samples. These results also highlight that demographic variables, in particular, education, which varies greatly across Spanish-speaking nations in terms of compulsory educational opportunity and quality, must be accounted for more carefully in clinical and research practice.
