Quality of life and level of burden in primary caregivers of patients with epilepsy: Effect of neuropsychiatric comorbidity.

CONCLUSION: Aggressive behavior was the psychiatric comorbidity most clearly associated with lower QOL and higher LB. Longer duration of epilepsy was related to higher burden and lower QOL. More years of education of the caregiver were associated with better QOL. We found no significant correlation between seizure control and QOL or LB. PMID: 29455081 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
