摘要：
Quality of life was assessed in 108 epileptic children (6-15 years) using a hindi translation of Quality of Life in Children with Epilepsy (QOLCE) questionnaire. The questionnaire consist of 76 items with 16 subscales covering five domains of life: physical function, social function, cognition, emotional and behavioral well being. Overall score was 62.62 +/- 21.32. Chronbach's-alpha for all 13 multi-item subscales was above 0.70, indicating good internal consistency and reliability. Pearson correlation revealed good construct validity. Overall quality of life was affected by age, type of epilepsy, seizure frequency and maternal education (P < 0.05). Energy levels, language and attention (P < 0.05) were better in older children whereas younger children had better self esteem and lower levels of anxiety. Seizure frequency compromised all fields except stigma, attention, and energy levels (P > 0.05).
