Abstract

Objective: To evaluate some related factors to attention disorders in idiopathic epilepsy in adults. Subject and method: 200 patients were diagnosed with idiopathic seizures based on clinical and cranial magnetic resonance imaging. The patients were tested on the American Psychiatric Association's attention test. Result: Attention disorder in simple local epilepsy decreased with the lowest rate among other epilepsy types with statistical significance (with p<0.05). The onset of < 6 year-old group was 6.27 times higher than that of group 6 - 17 (with OR = 6.27, 95% CI: 2.04 ÷ 19.6, p=0.0002) and 91.5 times higher than the group of 18 and older (p=0.000). The onset of 6 - 17 group had a risk of 14.5 times higher than the onset group of 18 or more (p=0.000). Attention disorder in the group with a duration of more than 5 years was 2.65 higher times compared with the group with 1 - 5 years of disease (p=0.0215) and 3.08 times higher than the group with duration of less than 1 year (p=0.0089). Anti-epileptic drugs had no effect on attention disorders. Conclusion: Attention disorder is less common in simple local epilepsy. The lower the age of onset (< 6 years) and the longer the duration of epilepsy, the highest the attention disorder. Anti-epileptic drugs do not affect attention disorders.
