ABSTRACT

Se estudió un grupo de 125 pacientes epilépticos con el propósito de conocer la existencia de índice de deterioro cognitivo positivo y la relación del deterioro con un conjunto de variables multicausales (biológicas, sociales y medicamentosas). Se aplicó el índice de deterioro de Weshcler del cuestionario de epilepsia a los pacientes en estudio, los cuales fueron divididos en 2 grupos: los que tenían deterioro cognitivo y los que no lo tenían. Los datos se procesaron con estadígrafos como Fisher, Chi-cuadrado, Odds Ratio, y análisis estadístico multivariado (ANOVA). El deterioro se presentó en el 29 por ciento de los pacientes estudiados; en más del 80 por ciento de los pacientes con epilepsia y alcoholismo (Fisher p = 0,012 diferencia significativa y Odds Ratio = 6,532); en el 68 por ciento de los que tenían elevada frecuencia de crisis (p = 0,0014 Odds Ratio = 8,075); en el 83 por ciento de los que tenían psicosis asociada (p = 0,0126 Odds Ratio = 6,531); en más del 60 por ciento de los que tomaban fenitoína (Anova p = 0,0082) y en los que la tomaban de forma combinada con carbamazepina (p = 0,0210 Odds Ratio = 27,00). La tercera parte de los pacientes con epilepsia presentan deterioro cognitivo. La epilepsia asociada al alcoholismo y la elevada frecuencia de crisis son los factores biológicos más deteriorantes. La psicosis asociada a epilepsia tiene alta incidencia de deterioro. La fenitoína es el FAE que produce más deterioro y su uso unido a la carbamazepina no es recomendado.


Based on a research study done on a group of patients suffering from epilepsy the existance of positive cognitive deterioration and its relationship with a multicausal group of variables were found out. For this study we used Wechsier’s Deterioration Indicator applied on 125 patients suffering from epilepsy.These patients were classified into two groups: the ones suffering from positive deterioration and the ones that were not. The relationship between deterioration and multicausual factors ( biological, social and those due to medication) was established. Data were processed with the use of stadigraphs such as Fisher, Chi - cuadrado, Odds Ratio and Multivaried Statistical Analysis (ANOVA) . Deterioration was present in 29 percent of the studied patients. In more than 80 percent of the patients suffering from epilepsy and alcoholism ( Fisher p=0.012 significant difference and Odds Ratio =6.532), in 68 percent of the patients suffering from high frequency crisis ( p=0.0014 Odds Ratio =8.075). In 83 percent of the patients suffering from associated psychosis (p=0.0126, Odds Ratio =6.531), in more than 60 percent of the patients that were administered Fenitoine (ANOVA p= 0.0082) and in the ones that were administered Carbamazepine combined with Fenitoine (p= 0.0210 Odds Ratio = 27.00). A third of the patients suffering from epilepsy present deterioration. Epilepsy associated to alcoholism and a high frequency crisis are the biological factors more deteriorating; also psychosis associated to epilepsy presents a high rate of it. The antiepeliptic pharmac (FAE) that produces more deterioration and it is not recommended to administer together with carbamazepine is Fenitoine.
