The Impact of Social Determinants of Health on Quality of Life in a Cohort of 1300 Children With Epilepsy
Background
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children with epilepsy is a measure of the impact of epilepsy on mental and physical health. Although epilepsy features, treatments, and developmental/learning issues impact HRQoL, less data exist on how social, non–disease-related factors play a role. This retrospective observational study examines the association of social determinants of health (SDOH) with HRQoL in children with epilepsy.
Methods
Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Epilepsy Module (PedsQLEp) scores were collected from 1311 children with epilepsy over one-year. Clinical characteristics and SDOH were fit to multivariable linear regression models to identify associations.
Results
Cognition and Executive domains of the PedsQLEp had the lowest median scores of 50 and 54, respectively. Both had the largest association with developmental/learning issues (Cognition, β = −32; 95% confidence interval [CI], −35 to −30; Executive β = −19; 95% CI, −22 to −16). Impact had a strong association with seizure burden and antiseizure medication (ASM) side effects. Mood and Sleep were most associated with ASM side effects. SDOH, including public insurance and increased social needs, were associated with lower HRQoL for Cognition, Executive, Impact, and Mood domains but to a lesser degree than other factors.
Conclusions
In children with epilepsy, SDOH were associated with HRQoL, but to a lesser degree than epilepsy-related factors. Higher seizure burden, frequent ASM side effects, and developmental/learning issues had the largest association with lower HRQoL. This study highlights areas for intervention to improve HRQoL and indicates that HRQoL may not be a useful outcome measure to assess the impact of an intervention on SDOH.
