Abstract

BACKGROUND Childhood epilepsy is commonly associated with behavioral problems. In this study, we used the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) to determine a behavioral profile for children with chronic epilepsy. METHODS Fifty-six children with epilepsy and 45 aged-matched healthy controls were evaluated by analyzing the clinical variables of all study participants. Scores of the CBCL were markedly higher in patients than those in healthy controls for both internalizing and externalizing behaviors, which consisted of subscales of aggressive behavior, anxiety/depression, attention problems, thought problems, withdrawal, and somatic complaints. RESULTS We found behavioral disturbances in 42% (n=24) of the epileptic patients and in 8% (n=4) of the controls. No significant differences were found between patients with and without behavioral problems on the clinical variables. CONCLUSIONS Behavioral problems deserve special attention in children with epilepsy. CBCL can be used as a screening instrument with these children.
应用儿童行为检查表评估癫痫患儿的行为问题。
背景:儿童癫痫通常与行为问题有关。在这项研究中,我们使用儿童行为检查表(CBCL)来确定慢性癫痫儿童的行为特征。方法对56例癫痫患儿和45例年龄匹配的健康对照进行临床变量分析。包括攻击性行为、焦虑/抑郁、注意力问题、思维问题、退缩和躯体抱怨在内的内化和外化行为量表,患者的CBCL得分均显著高于健康对照组。结果42%的癫痫患者(n=24)和8%的对照组(n=4)存在行为障碍。行为问题患者与无行为问题患者在临床变量上无显著差异。结论癫痫患儿的行为问题值得重视。CBCL可作为这些儿童的筛查工具。
