A longitudinal cohort study of mediators of health‐related quality of life after pediatric epilepsy surgery or medical treatment
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this longitudinal cohort study was to examine the variables that influence health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after epilepsy surgery in children. We examined whether treatment type (surgical vs medical therapy) and seizure control are related to other variables that have been shown to influence HRQOL, namely depressive symptoms in children with epilepsy or their parents, and the availability of family resources.
