Understanding lived experiences with KCNQ2 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy
Background
KCNQ2 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (KCNQ2-DEE) is a rare pediatric disorder characterized by seizures and neurodevelopmental impairments. Parent- and healthcare professional (HCP)-reported outcomes regarding the impacts of seizures and neurodevelopmental impairments may guide the design of clinically meaningful KCNQ2-DEE outcome measures.
Methods
Parents of children with KCNQ2-DEE (N = 53) and HCPs with KCNQ2-DEE expertise (N = 2) participated in qualitative interviews exploring signs, symptoms, and impacts of KCNQ2-DEE, and how varying KCNQ2-DEE phenotypes affect child development. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed by ATLAS.Ti v23 software.
Results
The most common KCNQ2-DEE concepts parents reported were difficulties with communication (88.9 %), and gross (81.5 %) and fine (63.0 %) motor problems. Difficulty with communication (74.1 %), behavioral disorders (37.0 %), and gross motor problems (24.1 %) were the most impactful and bothersome issues for parents. When asked to rate how impacted they were by each concept (0 = “not impacted” to 10 = “extremely impacted”), the most bothersome symptoms were difficulty with communication (mean score [SD] = 8.6 [1.7]; 87.0 % of parents), cognitive delays (8.1 [2.0]; 37.0 % parents), and personal care and hygiene issues (7.4 [2.2]; 29.6 % parents). Seizures were the least bothersome symptom post-infancy (mean score [SD] = 5.3 [3.6]; 87.0 % parents). Children’s developmental abilities varied substantially within and between KCNQ2-DEE phenotypes and across age groups. Overall, HCPs reported largely similar concepts to parents of children with KCNQ2-DEE.
Conclusions
These findings identify outcome domains important to those with KCNQ2-DEE and may inform the development of measurement tools and endpoint selection for therapeutic trials.
期刊介绍:
Epilepsy & Behavior is the fastest-growing international journal uniquely devoted to the rapid dissemination of the most current information available on the behavioral aspects of seizures and epilepsy.
Epilepsy & Behavior presents original peer-reviewed articles based on laboratory and clinical research. Topics are drawn from a variety of fields, including clinical neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neuroimaging.
From September 2012 Epilepsy & Behavior stopped accepting Case Reports for publication in the journal. From this date authors who submit to Epilepsy & Behavior will be offered a transfer or asked to resubmit their Case Reports to its new sister journal, Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports.
