Domain-specific relationships of subjective and objective cognition in epilepsy.

Objective: Many people with epilepsy report subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), i.e., problems with memory, attention, or executive functions, reducing quality of life.

Subjective cognition is linked to everyday functioning in epilepsy.

Objective: Many people with epilepsy (PWE) suffer from reduced everyday functioning such as unemployment, relationship difficulties, or lifestyle limitations. To identify whether subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) is a potential source of these impairments, associations with restrictions of daily life (RDL) and reduced daily activities (DA) were examined.

Methods: In a prospective cross-sectional sample of 316 adult in-patients with epilepsy, multiple regression analyses were calculated predicting RDL and DA.

Psycho-socio-clinical profiles and quality of life in seizure disorders: A cross-sectional registry study.

Objective: This prospective study aimed at comparing quality of life (QoL) and psycho-socio-clinical profiles between patients with epilepsy, psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES), and syncope. We also intended to identify predictors of QoL in these three seizure disorders.

Methods: A total of 245 inpatients (epilepsy n = 182, PNES n = 50, syncope n = 13) from a tertiary epilepsy clinic were included.

Perceived epilepsy-related stigma is linked to the socioeconomic status of the residence.

Purpose: Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders with high costs for the healthcare systems and great suffering for patients. Beyond seizures, psychosocial comorbidities can have detrimental effects on the well-being of people with epilepsy. One source of social stress and reduced quality of life is epilepsy-related stigma that often occurs, e.
