Outline of Final Research Achievements

The QOLCE-J with sufficient reliability and validity may be applicable as a QOL scale for Japanese children with epilepsy. Analysis of associations between the total QOLCE-J score and pathology of epilepsy, found significant correlation with age of onset and frequency of seizures, ADL, and antiepileptics side effects’ symptoms. QOLCE has mostly been used in treatment resistant pediatric patients, the influence of interictal period presently observed, like antiepileptic side effects’ symptoms; suggest usefulness for pediatric patients with seizures under control.
These results confirm that QOLCE-J may also be useful for all Japanese children with epilepsy.
