There is considerable heterogeneity in the language assessment protocols employed across epilepsy surgery centers. This in turn is reflected in the observed variability in the incidence of language decline reported in the literature. We systematically surveyed cognitive outcome literature to critically appraise the nature and frequency of language assessment in order to establish the parameters of the existing evidence base. We found that confrontation naming was the most frequently used paradigm to assess language function (96%), followed by verbal fluency (47%) and language comprehension (13%). Over 75% of studies reported outcomes within the first two years of surgery, and close to 50% used reliable change index (RCI) to measure pre\u2013post change in function, which is considered to be the gold standard. The evidence base is currently saturated with short\u2010term post\u2010surgical language outcomes assessed at single\u2010word level. Future studies employing comprehensive language assessment, longer follow\u2010up intervals, and designs comparing different metrics of pre\u2013post change in function are needed.<\/jats:p>\n
