Sažetak
Purpose: As comorbidities can affect treatment decisions, quality of life, and prognosis in epilepsy, it is important that they are detected and addressed as soon as possible. Screening tools can help by rapidly assessing various additional challenges in epilepsy. Methods: To map the use and perceived benefit of different screening instruments for quality of life, psychiatric comorbidity, and cognition, along with side effects from anti-seizure medication in Europe, we sent an online questionnaire to dedicated epilepsy centres departments within the European Reference Network for Rare and Complex Epilepsies (EpiCARE). Results: Among the 40 hospitals in the EpiCARE network, we received responses from 25 (63%), with 28 indi- vidual respondents. Most respondents reported using screening for quality of life (86%) and psychiatric co- morbidity (82%), but relatively few (14%) screen for sexual problems. Many (47) different tools were used for evaluation of cognitive dysfunction, but just a few (5) different tools were used to screen for adverse events. The optimization of individual patient care was one main reason given for using screening tools (58%-100% - depending on purpose of tool), another was research (50% - 88% - depending on purpose of tool). A major benefit of using screening tools perceived by the respondents is the detection of “hidden” comorbidity (67% - 90% - depending on purpose of tool). Conclusion: In the absence of a broad consensus regarding use of screening tools, practices vary considerably among epilepsy centres. Greater emphasis should be directed towards harmonizing use of screening tools. Future research should address how screening results influence treatment choices, and how these might affect clinical care.
