Question

Thank you very much!We examined the variation in the Chinese version of the QOLIE-AD-48 total and subscale scores between patients with different seizure severity by two tailed t tests.  Low-severity was defined as seizure free in recent one year, high-severity was defined as frequency of GTC or CPS = once/per month, the others were moderate-severity.

rabbit ****We examined the variation in the Chinese version of the QOLIE-AD-48 total and suscale(? I cannot find this word) scores between patients with different seizure severity by two tailed t tests. (This sentence is very complex and difficult to understand. Also, I am not familiar with the subject matter. However, is this what you mean?
We used two tailed t tests to study the variation in scores (total and subscale) among patients with different seizure severities. The method we followed was the Chinese version of the QOLIE-AD-48.
Low-severity was defined as seizure free in recent one year, high-severity was defined as frequency of GTC or CPS = once/per month, the others were moderate-severity.

The QOLIE-AD-48 total and subscale scores by seizure severity category ~~were~~ are shown in Table 6. Compared with moderate and high severity categories, the low-severity group have a higher total score, but there was not significant difference between the high and moderate severity groups. Four subscales appeared to be less sensitive. They were Attitudes toward Epilepsy, Physical Functioning, Social Support and School Behavior. Epilepsy Impact appeared to be the most sensitive subscale. Health Perceptions, Memory/Concentration and stigma appeared to be moderately sensitive subscales. ~~sensitivie~~.

Finally, we examined the sensitivity of the Chinese version by seizure severity category. The data from the original US and Serbian studies indicated ~~estimated~~ that it was possible to detect differences in QOL among adolescents with epilepsy, (where the more severe the impact of epilepsy. I cannot decipher this last phrase.) In our study, this tendency was also shown. However, there was not any significant difference in the total score (P=0.068) between high and moderate severity groups. A small sample size of the high-severity group (n=20) may be the main cause. In addition, our study indicated that seizure severity could not be highly related to Attitudes toward Epilepsy, Physical Functioning, Social Support and School Behavior in the Chinese adolescents.

rabbit ****We used two tailed t tests to study the variation in scores (total and subscale) among patients with different seizure severities. Low-severity was defined as seizure free during the prior ~~in recent~~ one year (12 months would be better, if you do not mean a calendar year.), high-severity was defined as frequency of GTC or CPS = once/per month, and the others were moderate-severity.

The QOLIE-AD-48 total and subscale scores by seizure severity category are shown in Table 6. Compared with moderate and high severity categories, the low-severity group have a higher total score, but there was not significant difference between the high and moderate severity groups.

Finally, we examined the sensitivity of the Chinese version by seizure severity category. The data from the original US and Serbian studies indicated that it was possible to detect differences in QOL among adolescents with epilepsy, where the more severe the impact of epilepsy, the more HRQOL would be compromised. In our study, this tendency was also shown. However, there was not any significant difference in the total score (P=0.068) between high and moderate severity groups. A small sample size of the high-severity group (n=20) may be the main cause. In addition, our study indicated that seizure severity could not be highly related to Attitudes toward Epilepsy, Physical Functioning, Social Support and School Behavior in the Chinese adolescents.
