bookPart Epilepsia na infância(2022) NUNES, Magda Lahorgue; VALENTE, Kette Dualibi- Factors associated with caregiver burden of adults with epilepsy in a middle-income country(2022) OLIVEIRA, Mariana C.; LIMA, Ellen Marise; PAIVA, Maria Luisa Nobre de; VALENTE, Kette Dualibi RamosPurpose: Despite the relevance of socio-economic background in burden of caregivers of persons with epilepsy (PWE), there is a dearth of knowledge about this topic in low-resource settings. Here we attempt to identify the extent of the burden in caregivers of adults with epilepsy in a middle-income country and the factors associated with it. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the level of burden with the Zarit Caregiver Burden Inventory. A comprehensive questionnaire was developed to assess the demographics of patients and caregivers. Epilepsy-related factors were obtained by interview and file review. Depressive, anxiety symptoms, and sleep quality were evaluated by Beck Depression Inventory, State and Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Stigma was evaluated by the Stigma Scale of Epilepsy. Results: The caregiver's burden was mild to moderate in our sample. The factors most strongly associated with the higher caregiver burden were age-onset of epilepsy, PWE years of schooling, needs for assistance in daily life, disabilities, and caregiver's bad-quality of sleep and higher depressive and anxiety symptoms. Conclusion: Caregivers of PWE deserve special attention regarding mental health and other health aspects, such as sleep quality.
- Counseling about sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP): A global survey of neurologists' opinions(2022) ASADI-POOYA, Ali A.; TRINKA, Eugen; BRIGO, Francesco; HINGRAY, Coraline; KARAKIS, Ioannis; LATTANZI, Simona; VALENTE, Kette D.; CONTRERAS, Guilca; TURUSPEKOVA, Saule T.; KISHK, Nirmeen Adel; ALJANDEEL, Ghaieb; FARAZDAGHI, Mohsen; LOPEZ, Yamile Calle; KISSANI, Najib; TRIKI, Chahnez; KRAEMER, Gunter; SURGES, Rainer; MESRAOUA, Boulenouar; YU, Hsiang-Yu; DAZA-RESTREPO, Anilu; ALSAADI, Taoufik; AL-ASMI, Abdullah; KUTLUBAEV, Mansur A.; PRETORIUS, Chrisma; JUSUPOVA, Asel; KHACHATRYAN, Samson G.; RANGANATHAN, Lakshmi Narasimhan; ASHKANANI, Abdulaziz; TOMSON, Torbjorn; GIGINEISHVILI, DavidObjective: To investigate the opinions and attitudes of neurologists on the counseling about sudden unex-pected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) worldwide. Methods: Practicing neurologists from around the world were invited to participate in an online survey. On February 18th, 2021, we emailed an invitation including a questionnaire (using Google-forms) to the lead neurologists from 50 countries. The survey anonymously collected the demographic data of the par-ticipants and answers to the questions about their opinions and attitudes toward counseling about SUDEP. Results: In total, 1123 neurologists from 27 countries participated; 41.5% of the respondents reported they discuss the risk of SUDEP with patients and their care-givers only rarely. Specific subgroups of patients who should especially be told about this condition were considered to be those with poor anti-seizure medication (ASM) adherence, frequent tonic-clonic seizures, or with drug-resistant epilepsy. The propensity to tell all patients with epilepsy (PWE) about SUDEP was higher among those with epilepsy fellowship. Having an epilepsy fellowship and working in an academic setting were factors associated with a comfortable discussion about SUDEP. There were significant differences between the world regions. Conclusion: Neurologists often do not discuss SUDEP with patients and their care-givers. While the results of this study may not be representative of practitioners in each country, it seems that there is a severe dissociation between the clinical significance of SUDEP and the amount of attention that is devoted to this matter in daily practice by many neurologists around the world.

- Physicians' beliefs about brain surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy: A global survey(2022) ASADI-POOYA, Ali A.; BRIGO, Francesco; TRINKA, Eugen; LATTANZI, Simona; KARAKIS, Ioannis; KISHK, Nirmeen Adel; VALENTE, Kette D.; JUSUPOVA, Asel; TURUSPEKOVA, Saule T.; DAZA-RESTREPO, Anilu; CONTRERAS, Guilca; KUTLUBAEV, Mansur A.; GUEKHT, Alla; RAHIMI-JABERI, Abbas; ALJANDEEL, Ghaieb; CALLE-LOPEZ, Yamile; ALSAADI, Taoufik; ASHKANANI, Abdulaziz; RANGANATHAN, Lakshmi Narasimhan; AL-ASMI, Abdullah; KHACHATRYAN, Samson G.; GIGINEISHVILI, David; MESRAOUA, Boulenouar; MWENDAWELI, NalucaPurpose: To investigate the opinions of physicians about brain surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy worldwide.Methods: Practicing neurologists, psychiatrists, and neurosurgeons from around the world were invited to participate in an online survey. The survey anonymously collected data about demographics, years in clinical practice, discipline, nation, work setting, and answers to the questions about beliefs and attitudes about brain surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy.Results: In total, 1410 physicians from 20 countries and different world regions participated. The propensity to discuss brain surgery with patients, who have drug-resistant seizures, was higher among men (versus women) [Odds Ratio (OR) 1.67, 95% CI 1.20-2.31; p = 0.002]. In comparison to neurologists, psychiatrists were less likely (OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.17-0.47; p < 0.001) and neurosurgeons were more likely (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.08-3.72; p = 0.028) to discuss about it. Survey participants working in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics showed a lower propensity to discuss epilepsy surgery with patients.Conclusion: This study showed that on an international level, there is still a knowledge gap concerning epilepsy surgery and much needs to be done to identify and overcome barriers to epilepsy surgery for patients with drug -resistant seizures worldwide.
