RESUMO

Introducción: El manejo de la epilepsia durante la gestación requiere un control óptimo de las crisis, evitando los potenciales efectos teratogénicos del tratamiento antiepiléptico.ObjetivosDescribir las características clínicas y los resultados perinatales de las pacientes con epilepsia gestantes. Analizar los factores que se asocian a la presencia de crisis durante la gestación. Describir los fármacos antiepilépticos más utilizados y analizar los cambios en el régimen terapéutico en dos periodos: de 2000-2010 y 2011-2018.MétodosSe realizó un estudio prospectivo observacional de pacientes con epilepsia que notificaron su gestación en el periodo de 2000-2018. Se evaluó a las pacientes en el primer y segundo trimestre de gestación, tras el parto y al año. Se recogieron variables demográficas, relacionadas con la epilepsia, perinatales y obstétricas.ResultadosSe incluyeron 101 gestaciones. La edad media fue de 32,6 años, el 55,4% tenía una epilepsia focal, el 38,6% una epilepsia generalizada y el 5,9% indeterminada. Se registraron 90 nacidos vivos, nueve abortos espontáneos y cinco malformaciones congénitas, cuatro de ellas en monoterapia con valproato. En 40 gestaciones (39,6%) se registraron crisis, siendo tónico-clónicas generalizadas en 16 (40%). Las variables asociadas con la presencia de crisis durante el embarazo fueron el mal control el año previo a la gestación (66,7% vs. 15,1%, p < 0,001), el tratamiento con dos o más fármacos antiepilépticos (30% vs. 14,8% p < 0,001) y no recibir tratamiento (25% vs. 0% p < 0,001). Los fármacos antiepilépticos más utilizados en monoterapia fueron lamotrigina (n = 19, 27,1%), valproato (n = 17, 24,2%) y levetiracetam (n = 12, 17,1%). En el periodo más reciente (2011-2018) se encontró una mayor proporción de monoterapias (81,5% vs. 55,3%), además de un descenso en el uso de carbamazepina (23,1% vs. 2,3%) y valproato (30,8% vs. 20,5%); y un aumento marcado de levetiracetam (0% vs. 27,3%).

Patients were evaluated in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, after delivery, and at one year. Data were collected on demographic variables, epilepsy, and perinatal and obstetric variables.ResultsA total of 101 pregnancies were included. Patients’ mean age was 32.6 years; 55.4% had focal epilepsy, 38.6% had generalised epilepsy, and 5.9% had undetermined epilepsy. We recorded 90 live births, 9 miscarriages, and 5 cases of congenital malformations, 4 of which were born to women who received valproate monotherapy. Forty patients (39.6%) presented seizures, with 16 (40%) presenting generalised tonic-clonic seizures. The variables associated with seizures during pregnancy were poor seizure control in the year prior to pregnancy (66.7% vs. 15.1%; P < .001), treatment with 2 or more antiepileptic drugs (30% vs. 14.8%; P < .001), and untreated epilepsy (25% vs. 0%; P < .001). The antiepileptic drugs most widely used in monotherapy were lamotrigine (n = 19; 27.1%), valproate (n = 17; 24.2%), and levetiracetam (n = 12; 17.1%). In the most recent period (2011-2018), we observed a greater proportion patients receiving monotherapy (81.5%, vs. 55.3%), as well as a decrease in the use of carbamazepine (2.3%, vs. 23.1%) and valproate (20.5%, vs. 30.8%); and a marked increase in the use of levetiracetam (27.3%, vs. 0%).

RESUMO

Objetivos: Evaluamos la presencia de trastornos del sueño en pacientes con epilepsia y analizamos su asociación con el control de las crisis.MétodosSe realizó un estudio transversal de pacientes con epilepsia reclutados consecutivamente entre septiembre de 2017 y diciembre de 2018. Los pacientes se clasificaron en 2 grupos según el control de crisis (buen control: pacientes sin crisis en las últimas 4 semanas) o mal control (pacientes con una crisis o más en las últimas 4 semanas). Se compararon variables demográficas y clínicas; insomnio, medido por el Índice de Severidad del Insomnio (ISI); somnolencia diurna excesiva, medida por la Escala de Somnolencia de Epworth (ESS); calidad del sueño, medida por el Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI); depresión, medida por el Inventario de Depresión de Beck-II (BDI-II); y calidad de vida, medida por el test de Calidad de Vida en Epilepsia (QOLIE-10).ResultadosSe incluyeron 123 pacientes. El 31,7% tenía somnolencia diurna excesiva (ESS ≥ 10), el 50,4% insomnio (ISI ≥ 10) y el 53,6% mala calidad del sueño (PSQI ≥ 5). Los factores asociados con la presencia de crisis fueron el desempleo (odds ratio [OR] = 4,7; intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC 95%]: 1,36-19,2; p = 0,02), un mayor número de fármacos antiepilépticos (OR = 5,87; IC 95%: 1,81-27,1; p < 0,001), insomnio (OR = 1,9; IC 95%: 1,1-9,3; p = 0,04) y mala calidad del sueño (OR = 2,8; IC 95%: 1,9-10,32; p = 0,01).ConclusionesLos trastornos del sueño son frecuentes en pacientes con epilepsia. El insomnio y la mala calidad del sueño se asociaron con un peor control de crisis. Estos hallazgos apoyan que los trastornos del sueño son una comorbilidad frecuente en epilepsia, especialmente en pacientes con peor control de crisis. (AU)


Objectives: This study aimed to assess the presence of sleep disorders in patients with epilepsy and to analyse their association with seizure control.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional study of patients with epilepsy, recruited consecutively between September 2017 and December 2018. Patients were classified as having good seizure control (no seizures in the last 4 weeks) or poor seizure control (at least one seizure in the last 4 weeks). We performed intergroup comparisons for demographic and clinical data, insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI]), excessive daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]), depression (Beck Depression Inventory-II [BDI-II]), and quality of life (Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory-10 [QOLIE-10]).ResultsThe sample included a total of 123 patients, of whom 31.7% had excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS ≥ 10), 50.4% had insomnia (ISI ≥ 10), and 53.6% had poor sleep quality (PSQI ≥ 5). According to our multivariate analysis, presence of seizures was associated with unemployment (odds ratio [OR] = 4.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.36-19.2; P = .02), a higher number of antiepileptic drugs (OR = 5.87; 95% CI, 1.81-27.1; P < .001), insomnia (OR = 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1-9.3; P = .04), and poor sleep quality (OR = 2.8; 95% CI, 1.9-10.32; P = .01).ConclusionsSleep disorders are common in patients with epilepsy. Insomnia and poor sleep quality were associated with poor seizure control. These findings support the hypothesis that sleep disorders constitute a significant comorbidity of epilepsy, especially in patients with poor seizure control. (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The management of epilepsy during pregnancy requires optimal seizure control, avoiding the potential teratogenic effects of antiepileptic drugs. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to describe the clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes of pregnant patients with epilepsy; to analyse the factors associated with seizures during pregnancy; to describe the most commonly used antiepileptic drugs in these patients; and to analyse changes in treatment regimens in 2 periods, 2000-2010 and 2011-2018. METHODS: We conducted a prospective observational study of patients with epilepsy who reported their pregnancy between 2000 and 2018. Patients were evaluated in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, after delivery, and at one year. Data were collected on demographic variables, epilepsy, and perinatal and obstetric variables. RESULTS: A total of 101 pregnancies were included. Patients' mean age was 32.6 years; 55.4% had focal epilepsy, 38.6% had generalised epilepsy, and 5.9% had undetermined epilepsy. We recorded 90 live births, 9 miscarriages, and 5 cases of congenital malformations, 4 of which were born to women who received valproate monotherapy. Forty patients (39.6%) presented seizures, with 16 (40%) presenting generalised tonic-clonic seizures. The variables associated with seizures during pregnancy were poor seizure control in the year prior to pregnancy (66.7% vs. 15.1%; P < .001), treatment with 2 or more antiepileptic drugs (30% vs. 14.8%; P < .001), and untreated epilepsy (25% vs. 0%; P < .001). The antiepileptic drugs most widely used in monotherapy were lamotrigine (n = 19; 27.1%), valproate (n = 17; 24.2%), and levetiracetam (n = 12; 17.1%). In the most recent period (2011-2018), we observed a greater proportion patients receiving monotherapy (81.5%, vs. 55.3%), as well as a decrease in the use of carbamazepine (2.3%, vs. 23.1%) and valproate (20.5%, vs. 30.8%); and a marked increase in the use of levetiracetam (27.3%, vs. 0%). CONCLUSIONS: The factors associated with the presence of seizures during pregnancy were previous poor seizure control, treatment with 2 or more antiepileptic drugs, and lack of treatment during pregnancy. The most commonly used drugs were lamotrigine, valproate, and levetiracetam, with an increase in levetiracetam use and a decrease in valproate use being observed in the later period (2011-2018).
