The health‐related quality of life of childhood epilepsy syndromes

Objective:  There is increasing awareness of the importance of assessing physical, psychological, social and behavioural well‐being in chronic disease. The aim of this study was to examine the health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) of children with common epilepsy syndromes and to explore if there are HRQoL differences between those syndromes.
