- W1843286004 abstract "Epilepsy, which is present in 0.5–1% of the paediatric population, is one of the most frequent childhood neurological disorders. Approximately 20% to 30% of these cases will be drug-resistant. The objective of this study is to describe the impact of vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) on seizures and quality of life in a sample of 30 patients. Descriptive, retrospective study of all patients with a VNS device implanted between 2008 and 2013 in a single paediatric hospital, based on patients’ medical records. Quality of life was assessed using the Spanish scale for quality of life in children with epilepsy, completed by means of a telephone interview. We describe a population of 19 boys (64%) and 11 girls (36%) with a mean age at seizure onset of 21 months (1–144 months). The mean age of VNS implantation was 11.89 years. Follow-up periods ranged from 6 to 36 months. Mean reduction in seizures at 6 months was 38%, with a reduction of 43% at 12 months, 42% at 24 months, and 54% at 36 months. At least half of all patients were classified as responders. According to the quality of life scale, 54% of the families rated the effect of VNS as either very good or good while 39% rated it as fair. VNS is a safe palliative treatment that is generally well tolerated. It is partially effective for controlling drug-resistant epilepsy and exerts a positive effect on quality of life. La epilepsia es uno de los trastornos neurológicos más frecuentes de la infancia, presentándose en un 0,5–1%. Aproximadamente un 20–30% de los pacientes son farmacorresistentes. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir en 30 pacientes el impacto sobre las crisis y la calidad de vida del estimulador del nervio vago (ENV). Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, mediante revisión de las historias clínicas de todos los pacientes a quienes se les colocó el ENV entre el 2008 y 2013 en nuestro centro. La calidad de vida fue valorada mediante la escala de calidad de vida en el niño con epilepsia (CAVE), obtenida por medio de una entrevista telefónica. Se incluyeron 19 niños (64%) y 11 niñas (36%) con una mediana de comienzo de las crisis de 21 meses (1–144 meses). La edad promedio de colocación del ENV fue de 11,89 años. El tiempo de seguimiento fue de 6–36 meses. A los 6 meses la reducción de las crisis en promedio fue del 38%, a los 12 meses del 43%, a los 24 meses del 42% y a los 36 meses del 54%. De todos los pacientes evaluados al menos un 50% se catalogaron como respondedores. Según la CAVE un 54% de las familias encontró el efecto del ENV como bueno o muy bueno y un 39% como regular. El ENV es un tratamiento paliativo, generalmente bien tolerado, parcialmente efectivo para el control de la epilepsia refractaria en pediatría y con repercusiones positivas sobre la calidad de vida." @default.
