Relationship between genetic causal attribution and IES score

			Unadjusted		Adjusted
Predictor	% High IES	N	PR (95% CI)	P	PR (95% CI)	P

Moderate chance	53.1	32	2.0 (0.89–4.57)	.09	2.1 (0.77–5.60)	.15

Note: Outcome is relative to “low IES” (<1.5). Total numbers vary based on missing data. Adjusted models include time since last seizure (≤5 years, >5 years) and total lifetime number of seizures (≤20, 21–100, >100).

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; IES, Impact of Epilepsy Scale; PR, prevalence ratio; ref, referent.
