Quality of life in adolescents with epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and population norms.

Adolescents with epilepsy, with or without cerebral palsy (CP), self-reported better school environment than adolescents in the general population. Proxy quality of life (QoL) results showed clinically important differences across groups in 6 out of 10 domains of the KIDSCREEN-52. Proxy-reported results showed poorer QoL scores for adolescents with epilepsy or CP than the general population. Parental stress level was lower in parents of children with CP or both CP and epilepsy, than in those with only epilepsy.
