“…The number of studies reporting on cognitive performance in AE has been growing steadily and warrants a formal review (Berg, Caplan, & Hesdorffer, 2011; Berg, Levy, Testa, & Blumenfeld, 2014; Caplan et al, 2008; Cerminara et al, 2013; Cheng et al, 2017; Conant, Wilfong, Inglese, & Schwarte, 2010; Conde-Guzon & Cancho-Candela, 2012; Covanis, Skiadas, Loli, Lada, & Theodorou, 1992; D’Agati, Cerminara, Casarelli, Pitzianti, & Curatolo, 2012; Fastenau et al, 2009; Franzoni et al, 2015; Gencpinar et al, 2016; Guerrini et al, 2015; Henkin et al, 2003; Henkin et al, 2005; Kernan et al, 2012; Levav et al, 2002; Lopes, Monteiro, Fonseca, Robalo, & Simoes, 2014; Lopes et al, 2013; Masur et al, 2013; Mostafa, Talaat, Shalaby, El-Fayoumy, & Labib, 2014; Nolan et al, 2004; Oostrom et al, 2003; Pavone et al, 2001; Schraegle, Nussbaum, & Stefanatos, 2016; Shinnar et al, 2017; Sinclair & Unwala, 2007; Siren et al, 2007; Talero-Gutierrez, Sanchez-Torres, & Velez-van-Meerbeke, 2015; Urena-Hornos et al, 2004; Vanasse, Beland, Carmant, & Lassonde, 2005; Vega et al, 2010; Verrotti et al, 2011; Wirrell, Camfield, Camfield, Gordon, & Dooley, 1996).

Towards a Better Understanding of Cognitive Deficits in Absence Epilepsy: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Cognition in absence epilepsy (AE) is generally considered undisturbed. However, reports on cognitive deficits in AE in recent years have suggested otherwise. This review systematically assesses current literature on cognitive performance in children with AE. A systematic literature search was performed in Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science. All studies reporting on cognitive performance in children with AE were considered. In total 33 studies were eligible for inclusion. Neuropsychological tests were classified into the following domains: intelligence; executive function; attention; language; motor & sensory-perceptual examinations; visuoperceptual/visuospatial/visuoconstructional function; memory and learning; achievement. Random-effect meta-analyses were conducted by estimating the pooled mean and/or pooling the mean difference in case-control studies. Full-scale IQ in children with AE was estimated at 96.78 (95%CI:94.46–99.10) across all available studies and in case-control studies IQ was on average 8.03 (95%CI:-10.45- -5.61) lower. Verbal IQ was estimated at 97.98 (95%CI:95.80–100.16) for all studies and 9.01 (95%CI:12.11- -5.90) points lower in case-control studies. Performance IQ was estimated at 97.23 (93.24–101.22) for all available studies and 5.32 (95%CI:-8.27–2.36) points lower in case-control studies. Lower performance was most often reported in executive function (cognitive flexibility, planning, and verbal fluency) and attention (sustained, selective and divided attention). Reports on school difficulties, neurodevelopmental problems, and attentional problems were high. In conclusion, in contrast to common beliefs, lower than average neurocognitive performance was noted in multiple cognitive domains, which may influence academic and psychosocial development.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s11065-019-09419-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Different types of learning problems in children with epilepsy are described in the literature, not only as a consequence of failure in the cognitive sphere but also secondary to lack of attention, memory or language disorders, to name a few 29 . Battistini et al 30 found a greater incidence of disorders specific to learning in 87% of the cases of patients with epilepsy.…”

Introduction: Epilepsy is a chronic disease that affects the quality of life (QoL) of adolescent patients. The objective of the study was to determine the QoL related to health in adolescent patients with epilepsy treated at the Federico Gómez Children's Hospital of Mexico using the QoL impact in epilepsy adolescents (QOLIE-AD-48) scale application. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive, and transversal study was carried out. Adolescent patients with a diagnosis of epilepsy and specific characteristics obtained by non-random convenience were evaluated. A questionnaire with socio-demographic data and the QOLIE-AD-48 questionnaire were applied. Results: We obtained 35 participants, 51.5% male, with an average age of 14.2 years ± 1.4 (standard deviation), the average duration of 4.7 years. Regarding schooling, 13% of participants have failed a grade level. About 11.4% do not attend school. Epileptic seizures were classified as focal (71.4%) and generalized (28.6%). The largest number of cases was in monotherapy in 68.6%, and the most common drugs are valproic acid (39.4%) and levetiracetam (27.3%). The QOLIE-AD-48 score was 65.20. The most affected domains, according to gender were: attitude toward epilepsy and physical functioning, for female and male, respectively. Overall, the lowest scores are attitudes toward epilepsy and health perception. Conclusions: Despite adequate control of seizures, the QoL related to the health of adolescents with epilepsy is regular. This suggests that not only the crisis and the number of them influence the external environment of adolescents but also that other factors can be included in the overall well-being.
