“…A finding in Brazil witnessed that 38% of patients with epilepsy experienced a cognitive decline (Tedrus et al, 2020). Research conducted at a neurologic clinic in Malaysia confirmed that 37.2% of patients with epilepsy had experienced cognitive impairment (Beh et al, 2020). A study conducted in Tunisia to evaluate the frequency of cognitive impairment among patients with temporal lobe epilepsy witnessed that more than half of the patients experienced cognitive impairment (Nouha et al, 2018).…”

“…Age is one of the factors which increases the risk of cognitive impairment among those with epilepsy; as the age increase, epilepsy-related cognitive impairments increase (Beh et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2019; Malik et al, 2019; Masoudian et al, 2020).…”

“…Combining drugs that have the similar effect has high degree of neurotoxic effect, it becomes the basis for cognitive decline in epilepsy patient with Polydrug. Studies indicate that polydrug prescription affects cognitive functioning negatively (Beh et al, 2020; Lestari et al, 2020; Novak et al, 2022).…”

Introduction Epilepsy is a widespread neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures; it contributes to 1% of the global burden of diseases and can end in cognitive impairment. Objective To assess the magnitude and associated factors of cognitive impairment among patients with epilepsy. Method The study utilized an institution-based cross-sectional study design. All patients with epilepsy whose ages were above 18 years were the source population. The authors performed bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Finally, variables with a p-value <.05 were significantly associated. Result The magnitude of cognitive impairment is 25.6%. Having no family history of epilepsy (AOR=0.12; 95% CI [0.02, 0.61]), polytherapy (AOR=5.14; 95% CI [1.12, 23.62]), and medication-related complaints (AOR=8.24; 95% CI [1.87, 36.38]) were strongly associated with cognitive impairment. Conclusion Significant numbers of patients were positive for cognitive impairment. Family history, polytherapy, and medication-related complaints were associated factors.
