Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical features of patients with epilepsy in Neurosurgery Outpatient and influencing factors for their seizure control.Methods:Six hundred and seventy-three epilepsy patients admitted to Neurosurgery Outpatient of 6 hospitals including Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2017 to December 2022 were chosen. Clinical data (including general demographic data, education level, onset age, onset cycle and duration, course of onset, family annual income and seizure control) were collected using a questionnaire prepared by He'nan Epilepsy Systematic Diagnosis and Treatment Center to summarize the clinical features. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regressions were used to analyze the influencing factors for their seizure control.Results:(1) In these 673 epilepsy patients, 50 (7.4%), 78 (11.6%), 192 (28.5%), 100 (14.9%), 68 (10.1%), 72 (10.7%) and 113 (16.8%), respectively, were <1 year old (infant stage), 1-2 years old (children stage), 3-5 years old (preschool stage), 6-16 years old (juvenile stage), 17-39 years old (young stage), 40-64 years old (middle-aged stage) and ≥65 years old (elderly stage). In the past medical treatment history, 23.0% (155/673) patients did not receive intervention, 72.4% (487/673) received medication, and 4.6% (31/673) received surgical treatment; 55.9% (376/673) had good seizure control and 44.1% (297/673) had poor seizure control. (2) Secondary education ( OR=2.199, 95% CI: 1.037-15.221, P=0.033), primary education or below ( OR=3.544, 95% CI: 2.101-21.343, P=0.012), daily seizures ( OR=4.788, 95% CI: 1.369-33.103, P=0.011), each seizure lasted ≥3 min ( OR=4.179, 95% CI: 3.338-18.550, P=0.003), course of disease≥3 years ( OR=0.199, 95% CI: 0.077-0.602, P=0.001), course of disease for 1-3 years ( OR=0.379, 95% CI: 0.108-0.882, P=0.031), and currently taken antiepileptic drugs for 3 or more ( OR=6.237, 95% CI: 2.195-17.837, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for poor seizure control in epilepsy patients. Conclusion:In Neurosurgery Outpatient, children with diseases before childhood enjoy the largest proportion; drug therapy remains the main treatment; low education level, short seizure cycle, long duration of attack, long course of disease, and multiple drugs used in these patients imply poor anti-epileptic effecacy.
