Resumen :	Purpose: Using an adult cohort of patients with focal epilepsy, we aimed to identify risk factors for development of drug-resistant epilepsy, which if identifiable would allow patients to receive appropriate counsel and earlier surgical treatment. Methods: This is a case-control study nested within a cohort, 146 adult patients with focal epilepsy were included. Definitions were used in accordance with ILAE criteria. The odds ratio and its confidence interval were calculated. We performed a logistic regression analysis. Results: Seventy-one [48.6%] patients met the criteria for drug-resistant epilepsy [cases] and 75 [51.4%] patients were controls. The mean age of patients was 44.5 ± 16.4 years. The most significant variables associated with developing drug-resistant epilepsy include younger age at diagnosis [18.75 vs. 32.2, p
