Change in Global Mental Health in Adult Epilepsy Patients
2014 – 2023
Medical Patients (N = 7864)
7864 medically treated patients had at least 2 visits with PROMIS-10 Mental Health data available for analysis. Among those patients whose baseline PROMIS-10 Mental Health score ≤ 45 (N = 3761), 35% (N = 1318) showed improvement, 50.8% (N = 1909) remained stable, and 14.2% (N = 534) worsened.
Median duration of follow-up was 1336 days (range, 180-3347 days).
Surgical Patients (N = 291)
291 surgical patients had a pre-surgery visit and post-surgery visit with PROMIS-10 Mental Health data available for analysis. Among those patients whose baseline PROMIS-10 Mental Health score ≤ 45 (N = 177), 39% (N = 69) showed improvement, 48% (N = 85) remained stable, and 13% (N = 23) worsened.
Median duration of follow-up was 1135 days (range, 188-2625 days).
Clinically meaningful change was defined as a 5-point change in T-score, based on one-half the standard deviation.²
