This study investigated parent reports of everyday memory and performance on objective memory tests in children with intractable epilepsy. Participants were 119 children with epilepsy (75 of whom underwent surgery) and 57 healthy controls. The group with epilepsy was examined twice, approximately 2 years apart. Parents reported on their child's memory as manifested in everyday activities and situations, and children with epilepsy completed standardized objective memory tests. At baseline, the children with epilepsy had poorer everyday memory than the healthy control group. Memory did not change significantly over time in the children with epilepsy, and no changes were found related to surgery or to seizure outcome. Intractable epilepsy in childhood is associated with difficulty in using memory in everyday activities. Resective surgery does not result in changes in the parents' observations of their child's memory as manifested in their daily functioning or in the child's performance on objective measures of memory.
本研究调查了父母对患有难治性癫痫儿童日常记忆和客观记忆测试表现的报告。参与者包括 119 名癫痫儿童（其中 75 名接受了手术）和 57 名健康对照组。癫痫组被两次检查，大约相隔 2 年。父母报告了他们孩子在日常活动和情况下的记忆情况，癫痫儿童完成了标准化的客观记忆测试。在基线时，癫痫儿童的日常记忆比健康对照组差。癫痫儿童的记忆在时间上没有显著变化，也没有发现与手术或癫痫发作结果相关的变化。儿童时期的难治性癫痫与在日常活动中使用记忆的困难有关。切除性手术不会导致父母观察到孩子在日常生活功能中的记忆或孩子在客观记忆测量中的表现发生变化。
