Our study confirmed the unidimensionality of the ESS in a large diverse clinical population. Results from this study can be used to justify the interpretation of the ESS within clinical populations, and supports valid comparisons between groups based on the ESS. Future studies are warranted to further understand the items comprising the ESS and potentially eliminate redundant items for increased efficiency in clinical settings.

Background: Seizure freedom without deficits is the primary goal for epilepsy surgery. However, patients with medically refractory epilepsy commonly suffer from many co-morbidities related to mood, cognition, and sleep as well as social problems and resultant stigma. While epilepsy surgery literature does describe quality of life (QOL) and neuropsychological outcomes, there is a paucity of information on various common non-seizure outcomes, especially pertaining to mood, sleep, cognition, and social aspects. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of various non-seizure parameters on post-epilepsy surgery QOL. Methods: Consecutive adult patients operated for refractory epilepsy at least 1 year prior to initiation of this study were included and classified as seizure-free (group 1) or non-seizure-free (group 2). QOL was assessed using the QOLIE-31 instrument; patients with a T score less than 40 were categorized as “poor QOL.” Non-seizure parameters assessed were cognition, mood disturbances, social improvement, social stigma, and sleep disturbances. Categorization into “good” and “poor” outcome subgroups on each item was carried out by dichotomization of scores. Results: Thirty-seven patients (16 F) [mean age 23.5 ± 5.6 years] were evaluated; 26 were seizure-free (group 1). In this group, impaired memory, lower language scores, depression, not having been employed, not receiving education prior to surgery, and experiencing social stigma were factors significantly associated with poor QOL. In group 2, all patients had poor QOL scores. Conclusion: Non-seizure factors related to common epilepsy co-morbidities and social issues are highly prevalent among seizure-free patients reporting poor QOL after epilepsy surgery.
