PURPOSE: The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to assess quality of life (QOL) and impact of @entity410 status on QOL in @entity1 with @entity302 after surgery. @entity1 AND METHODS: Twenty-three consecutive @entity1 who had been operated due to @entity302 were included in this study. Quality of Life Inventory in Epilepsy-10 (QOLIE-10) questionnaire was completed by all @entity1 before 6 months and 2 years after surgery. Results obtained from short- and long-term follow-up were compared to baseline. Furthermore, @entity1 who were @entity410 -free since surgery and those who had @entity410 were also compared in terms of outcome in QOL after surgery. RESULTS: All @entity1 showed significantly improved QOL in both short- and long-term follow-ups compared to preoperative status regardless of @entity410 status (p<0.001). @entity410 -free @entity1 showed better QOL than those of @entity1 who continued to have @entity410 during postoperative period. Furthermore, improved QOL was correlated with @entity410 status and shorter duration of @entity302 (p=0.001). CONCLUSION: Our findings showed that improved QOL is related to postoperative @entity410 status. However, future clinical studies including larger population of @entity1 with @entity302 are required to elucidate the role of other factors.
