Abstract:
Objective To analyze the main factors influencing the management effect of rural epilepsy prevention and control projects in Hubei Province, and to provide reference for further improving the management effect. Methods According to the phenobarbital treatment and management plan of the rural epilepsy project, the target population was screened and reviewed, and patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled into the project management. Regular follow-up visits, free drug treatment, health education and other measures were carried out, and all relevant information was collected and integrated into the survey data. After the data was reviewed level by level, SPSS20.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results From January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020, among patients treated and managed with phenobarbital in 6 project counties, 1430 patients were treated and managed for more than 1 year, of whom 1119 (78.25%) had no seizures or had more than 75% reduction in the number of seizures during the observation period. Compared with other age groups, the age group of 65 years and above had the highest markedly effective/effective ratio (95.77%). From the point of follow-up, the markedly effective/effective ratio of 5 years and above was the highest (91.51%). Compared with those who received no treatment prior to enrollment and those who received regular treatment, the patients receiving informal treatment had the lowest markedly effective/effective ratio (82.43%). 1213 cases (84.83%) had good compliance during the observation period, of whom 1062 cases (87.55%) had a reduction in the number of seizures by more than 50% compared with that before treatment. Univariate analysis showed that the age of patients, the length of follow-up, the treatment status before enrollment, the average daily dose of phenobarbital and the compliance of patients all had an impact on the management effect, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the markedly effective/effective rate of patients in the age group of 65 years and above was 6.749 times that of the younger age group. Receiving informal treatment prior to enrollment was a risk factor for difficult-to-control epilepsy. The markedly effective/effective rate of patients receiving informal treatment was 0.29 times that of patients never receiving treatment. Good compliance was a protective factor for epilepsy control, and the markedly effective/effective rate of patients with good compliance was 2.058 times that of patients with poor compliance. Conclusion The epilepsy prevention and management project in rural areas has a significant effect on seizure control. Early treatment, standardized treatment, and improvement of treatment compliance are effective ways to improve the management effect of epilepsy patients.
