摘要
Context:Epileptic seizures and the unpredictable falls resulting from epileptic seizures predispose the people living with epilepsy (PLWE) to various physical injuries as well as postictal cognitive and behavioral changes.Aims:The aim of the study was to determine the frequency and patterns of seizure-related physical injuries, postictal cognitive impairments, and behavioral changes.Settings and Design:This was a cross-sectional descriptive study in a Southeast Nigeria local government area.Subjects and Methods:PLWE identified during a two-phase door-to-door survey and their caregivers were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire.Statistical Analysis Used:The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22.0 was used.Results:There were 56 cases of active convulsive seizures comprising 33 (58.9%) males and 23 (41.1%) females, with a mean age of 32.9 +/- 14.2. The lifetime prevalence of seizure-related physical injuries, postictal behavioral changes, and postictal cognitive impairments was 9.8 per 1000 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.1-10.0), 8.4 per 1000 (95% CI: 7.2-9.2), and 6.3 per 1000 (95% CI: 4.9-7.5), respectively. Skin/soft-tissue injuries and tongue laceration were the most frequent physical injuries found in 66.1% (n = 37/56) and 60.7% (n = 34/56) of cases, respectively. The frequency of soft-tissue injuries was significantly higher (chi 2 = 5.038; P = 0.0248) in the females 78.3% (n = 18/23) than the males 48.5% (n = 16/33). About a third of the females 39.1% had burn injuries compared to 18.1% of the males.Conclusions:Seizure-related injuries are common and have the tendency to increase the burden of epilepsy and epilepsy-related stigma from deformities and the chronic disfiguring scars resulting from such injuries. Contexte:Les crises d'é pilepsie et les chutes impré visibles ré sultant des crises d'é pilepsie pré disposent les personnes vivant avec l'é pilepsie (PLWE) à diverses blessures physiques ainsi que des changements cognitifs et comportementaux post-critiques.Objectifs:Le but de l'é tude é tait de dé terminer la fré quence et les caracté ristiques des blessures physiques lié es aux crises, des dé ficiences cognitives post-critiques et des changements de comportement. Paramè tres et conception: il s'agissait d'une é tude descriptive transversale dans une zone de gouvernement local du sud-est du Nigeria. Sujets et mé thodes: PLWE identifié es lors d'une enquê te porte-à-porte en deux phases et leurs soignants ont é té interrogé s à l'aide d'un questionnaire semi-structuré. Analyse statistique utilisé e: Le progiciel statistique pour les sciences sociales version 22.0 a é té utilisé.Ré sultats:Il y a eu 56 cas de crises convulsives actives comprenant 33 (58,9 %) hommes et 23 (41,1 %) femmes, avec un â ge moyen de 32,9 +/- 14,2 ans. La pré valence au cours de la vie des blessures physiques, des changements de comportement post-critiques et des troubles cognitifs post-critiques lié s aux crises é tait de 9,8 pour 1 000 (95 % intervalle de confiance [IC]: 9,1 à 10,0), 8,4 pour 1 000 (IC à 95 %: 7,2 à 9,2) et 6,3 pour 1 000 (IC à 95 %: 4,9 à 7,5), respectivement. Blessures de la peau/des tissus mous et les lacé rations de la langue é taient les blessures physiques les plus fré quentes trouvé es dans 66,1 % (n = 37/56) et 60,7 % (n = 34/56) des cas, respectivement. La fré quence de les blessures des tissus mous é taient significativement plus é levé es (chi 2 = 5,038; P = 0,0248) chez les femmes 78,3 % (n = 18/23) que chez les hommes 48,5 % (n = 16/33). Environ un tiers Parmi les femmes, 39,1 % avaient des brû lures, contre 18,1 % des hommes.Conclusions:Les blessures lié es aux convulsions sont fré quentes et ont tendance à accroî tre le fardeau de l'é pilepsie et de la stigmatisation lié e à l'é pilepsie due aux malformations et aux cicatrices dé figurantes chroniques ré sultant de telles blessures.
