Patient satisfaction with therapeutic interventions is an important outcome of care. Although generic measures patient exist, there no validated scale for measuring epilepsy surgery. We aimed to systematically obtain patient-identified factors related surgery as a means informing clinicians about the ways that patients evaluate outcomes their treatment and conceptual basis future development scales.

To examine whether cannabis use is associated with or mediates psychosocial health in people epilepsy.Consecutive adult epilepsy patients visiting the Calgary Comprehensive Epilepsy Programme clinic were administered validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) including Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for (NDDI-E), Quality of Life (QOLIE-10-P), EuroQOL five dimensions level scale (EQ-5D-5L), Global Assessment Severity Scale, Disability Associated Seizures Scale and...
Abstract Objective We aimed to assess the reliability and validity of single‐item global ratings (GR) satisfaction with epilepsy surgery. Methods recruited 240 patients from four centers in Canada Sweden who underwent surgery ≥1 year earlier. Participants completed a validated questionnaire on (the ESSQ‐19), plus GR twice, 4–6 weeks apart. They also questionnaires quality life, depression, health state utilities, severity disability, medical treatment social desirability. Test‐retest was...
