RESUMEN

PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the factors associated with quality of life (QOL) in adult patients living with epilepsy in Morocco. METHODS: 110 patients with epilepsy aging 18 years old were interviewed using the standard and validated Moroccan version of the Quality of Life in Epilepsy inventory with 31 items (QOLIE-31). Descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and multivariate regression were used for data analysis. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 35.70 years old (standard deviation (SD)12.2). The mean total score of QOLIE-31 was 43.6±10.2. The highest mean±SD score was the medication effects subscale 52.3±12.1, and the lowest was the overall quality of life subscale 39.2±13.2. Patients with no seizure episode during the last month had a better mean total score of QOLIE-31 (47.6±10.5) than the study participants having a seizure in the last month (40.6±8.9, p≤0.001). These data supported that presence of seizure in the past 4 weeks (ß=4.626, CI95 % 1.123; 8.130), memory disorders (ß=10.025, IC 95 % 2.811; 17.239), seizure trigger factors such as forgetting to take antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) (ß=5.205, IC 95 % 1.769; 8.641), personal problems (ß=4.957, IC 95 % 0.604; 9.310), low monthly income (<2000MAD, 194.94$: ß= -9.937, IC 95 % -18.536; -1.338), (2000-5000MAD, 194.94$- 487.35$: ß= -24.804, IC 95 % -43.171; -6.437), and employment (ß= -4.291, IC 95 % -7.976; -0.605) were the factors associated with QOL. SIGNIFICANCE: The overall QOL of patients with epilepsy was low. This study showed that the presence of seizures, memory disorders, monthly income, trigger factors, and employment status were QOL predictors for epileptic patients.
