Information sheet: Covid–epilepsy questionnaire
Background
Besides causing respiratory symptoms and death by incapacitation of the lungs, the COVID-19 epidemic also has a tremendous psychosocial impact. Previous research has shown that persons with epilepsy (PWE) are more prone to psychiatric disorders than the rest of the population.
In this light, researchers at the University of Antwerp (Belgium) have designed a small study to investigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on PWE.
Aims of the ICPCovid-Epilepsy study:
- To assess the frequency of anxiety and depression among PWE in different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- To identify possible consequences of the ongoing health crisis on the frequency of seizures and the quality of life of PWE
- To assess access of PWE to healthcare services and anti-epileptic treatment
- To compare the impact of different Covid-19 control measures in different countries on the quality of life of PWE
