Topiramate on the quality of life in childhood epilepsy
2011, Brain and DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :The primary goals of epilepsy treatment are to enhance the patient’s quality of life (QOL) and to control seizures. Comprehensive care should go beyond simply trying to control seizures while minimizing adverse drug reactions [3,4]. Therefore, there has been a trend away from formal cognitive tests and towards attempts to evaluate HRQOL.
Factors associated with generic and disease-specific quality of life in epilepsy
2011, Biomedical and Environmental SciencesAssociation of non-adherence to antiepileptic drugs and seizures, quality of life, and productivity: Survey of patients with epilepsy and physicians
2008, Epilepsy and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Studies regarding adherence have found four primary factors associated with medication non-adherence: patient-related factors (e.g., socio-economic characteristics, and perceptions and beliefs), illness-related factors (e.g., severity of illness and frequency of symptoms), medication-related factors (e.g., number of daily doses, efficacy, and side effects), and physician-related factors (e.g., patient-physician relationship) [11–15]. Research regarding patient adherence to AEDs has focused largely on the impact of the patient-physician relationship on adherence and potential education programs intended to improve adherence [11,16–18]. Findings suggest that patients tend to be more adherent when physicians have open dialogue regarding epilepsy and its treatments [16–19] and when patients are comfortable speaking with their physician [11].
