Capacities of formal methods in objectivization of epileptic severity dynamics

Abstract

There was analyzed dynamics of morbidity in 65 epileptic patients with the help of severity scale of epileptic seizures, accounting method of recovering percentage, index of quality of life. The highest value on scale was obtained during complex partial seizures, transferring into secondly generalized (15 points), the lowest — during typical absentia epileptica (1 point). When mixing some epileptic seizures the total sum of points achieved 34 points. Percentage of improvements was counted in 6 months after correction of therapy. Quality of life was evaluated by 5-point analogue scale, developed by the authors and tested in temporal epilepsy.
