İdiyopatik Epilepsi Tanılı Çocuk Hastalarda Antiepileptik Tedavi Kesimi Sonrası Nöbet Tekrarı ile İlişkili Risk Faktörleri

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı idiyopatik epilepsi tanılı çocuklarda anti epileptik tedavi kesimi sonrası nöbet tekrarına etki eden risk faktörlerini değerlendirmektir.


Gereç ve Yöntem:
En az 24 ay anti epileptik tedavi alan, kraniyal manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ve elektroensefalografi sonuçları normal olan hastaların ilaç tedavisi 4-6 aylık süreçte azaltılarak kesilmiştir. Tedavi kesimi sonrası nöbeti tekrarlayan 72 hasta relaps grubunu, nöbeti tekrar etmeyen 82 hasta ise remisyon grubunu oluşturmuştur.

Sonuç: Hastaların tanı yaşı ve tedavi başlanması sonrasında nöbet kontrol sürelerinin relaps üzerine etki eden risk faktörleri olduğu görülmüştür. Relaps grubundaki hastaların %95,9’unda nöbet tekrarının ilk 2 yıl içerisinde geliştiği belirlenmiştir.


Tartışma:
Tedavi başlanmasından sonra nöbet kontrol süresi 3 ay ve üzerinde olan hastalarda ilaç kesim sonrası tekrarlama riski daha yüksektir. Ayrıca epilepsi tanı yaşı 12 ve üzerinde olan hastalarda da tekrarlama riskinin yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte anti epileptik tedavisi kesilen tüm hastalarda 2 yıl yakın takip önermekteyiz.

Risk Factors For Seizure Recurrence After Antiepileptic Drug Withdrawal in Children with Idiopathic Epilepy

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk factors on seizure recurrence after antiepileptic drug
withdrawal in children with idiopathic epilepsy.

Material and Methods: The treatment is withdrawn within 4-6 months in all patients who had normal magnetic
resonance imaging and electroencephalogram results on at least 24 months of antiepileptic drug treatment. After drug
withdrawal 72 patients had seizure recurrence in whom labeled as relapse group. Eighty-two patients had no seizure
recurrence are labeled as remission group.


Results:
The age of diagnosis with epilepsy and remission time were observed as risk factors on seizure recurrence. It
is determined that after drug withdrawal seizure recurrence is occurred within the first 2 years of follow-up in 95,9 % of
the relapse group’s patients.

Conclusion: In patients, who had more than 3 months of seizure remission time have more seizure recurrence risk
after drug withdrawal. Furthermore, it is observed that in patients older than 12 years old the risk of recurrence

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.


Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.


The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
