Active seizures are associated with reduced adaptive functioning in children with epilepsy.

摘要: Children with epilepsy are at risk of suboptimal adaptive functioning. Research has not yet established how specific seizure and treatment variables may affect functioning, which would allow clinicians to better identify at-risk children. This study sought determine the predictive Forty-six children participated in this study. Using multiple regression, active seizures (one or more prior year) significantly predicted scores on General Adaptive Composite Behavior Assessment System-II. The variable uniquely explained 19% variance demonstrating poorer number current AEDs, past types, age onset, temporal lobectomy were significant predictors. Post hoc analyses that divided group according frequency month did find differences results suggest fully controlled greater
