Abstract

Epilepsy leads to seizures and can impair advanced brain functions including memory function. This leads to a decrease in the quality of life for epilepsy patients. Objective: Describe clinical features of impaired memory function in mature epilepsy patients. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 144 patients diagnosed with epilepsy according to the International League Against Epilepsy (International League Against Epilepsy) criteria at Bach Mai hospital from July 2020 to July 2021. Results: There were 78 male patients and 66 female patients with an average age of 44,2 ± 9,1. The age of first seizure onset was most common in the group under 18 years of age, after 60 years of age, the rate of first seizure appearedalso tends to increase.In this study, patients had the most simple partial seizures (38,9%), the number of patients with complex partial seizures was the least (11,1%). The proportion of epilepsy patients with memory impairment was 34,0%, of which men accounted for 33,3%, women accounted for 34,8%, there was no difference in the rate of memory impairment in the two sexes. . Patients with a frequency of thick seizures have memory impairment rate of 58,3%, patients with disease lasting more than 5 years, the rate of memory loss is 55,8%. Conclusions:In our study, epilepsy patients had a relatively high rate of memory impairment, accounting for 34,0%. The longer the patient has a disease, the higher the frequency of seizures, the higher the rate of memory loss, so there is a need for more active treatment intervention in this group.
