Health-related quality of life and emotional well-being after epilepsy surgery: A prospective, controlled, long-term follow-up.

At the group level, HRQOL was stable 14 years after surgery compared to after 2 years. Social Functioning and Mental Health were still below, but other domains were similar to the normative sample. Individual patterns did not follow seizure outcome changes, indicating that multiple factors are important for long-term HRQOL.
