“…Epilepsy adversely affected the QOL that was not in consonance of some studies done in the past where most of the respondents reported their health status as good, 12 although majority of other studies reported to have lower QOL in children with epilepsy. [13][14][15][16][17][18] The most common type of epilepsy in the present study was generalized (87%) that was also reported in other Indian studies. In this study, it was found that QOL in the cognitive dimension of epileptic children was more affected than physical, social, and emotional dimensions.…”

“…On multivariate analysis, IQ score and long duration of epilepsy were most strongly associated with poor QOL that was also found in a recently published study. 15 Our study had the following limitations: 1. PedsQL is not validated in Indian population; so, scores used may not reasonably reflect QOL in India.…”

“…In addition, CWE who had experienced AED side effects had lower quality of lives compared with those who had not which is similar to other studies. [14][15][16] These findings highlight the impact of the severity of the disease and proper management of seizures on the QoL of CWE. The duration of seizure episodes was not associated with the QoL which is consistent with some other studies.…”

“…It is very important to evaluate the well-being and quality of life of children with epilepsy (Bilgiç et al, 2018;Conde-Guzón et al, 2020;Momen et al, 2019). Studies have emphasized that children with epilepsy have lower quality of life compared to their healthy peers due to factors, such as seizure attacks, frequency and severity of seizures, unpredictable time of seizures, side effects associated with antiepileptic drug (AEDs) treatment, and perceived stigma associated with epilepsy (De La Loge et al, 2016;Jovanovic et al, 2015;Love et al, 2016;Momen et al, 2019;Nagabushana et al, 2019). However, it has also been reported that apart from the effects of seizures, emotional and behavioral problems experienced by children with epilepsy further reduce the health-related quality of life (Reilly et al, 2015).…”

“…HRQOL refers to an individual's perception of his/her position in life in the context of culture and value systems in which he/she lives and in relation to his/her goals, expectations, standards, and concerns (de Wit & Hajos, 2013). HRQOL measures encompass multiple areas of functioning of subjective wellbeing and are considered crucial to comprehensive management (Nagabushana et al, 2019).…”
