The effect of executive function on health related quality of life in children with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes

CONCLUSION: Our results suggest the importance of the identification of patients with SeLECTS with a high level of risk for a poor HRQoL. We may now add executive dysfunction to the list of known risk factors for poor HRQoL in children with SeLECTS, along with such factors as seizure frequency, recent seizures, use of ASMs and longer duration of therapy. The early identification of children with SeLECTS at risk of a poor HRQoL could allow the activation of adequate interventions.PMID:38277852 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109607
