Memory complaints are common in adult people with epilepsy (PWEs). However, the associated clinical aspects are not yet fully understood.
This study aims to relate the occurrence of memory complaints in PWEs with clinical aspects and self-esteem.
To relate the data obtained from the Memory Complaint Questionnaire (MAC-Q) with clinical aspects, 71 PWEs were assessed using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the Brief Cognitive Battery-Edu. These data were compared with 55 individuals in a control group (CG).
Memory complaints (MAC-Q≥25) were significantly higher in PWEs, when compared with individuals in the CG [35 (49.3%) vs. 15 (27.2%); Student's -test; p=0.012]. Objective cognitive performance was lower in PWEs. Memory complaints were associated with a lower educational level, the presence of depression, SES, MMSE, incidental memory, and the clock-drawing test scores in PWEs.
Memory complaints were more frequent in PWEs than in individuals in the CG, and there was a relationship with cognitive deficit, educational level, depression, and low self-esteem.
记忆障碍在成年癫痫患者（PWEs）中很常见。然而，相关的临床特征尚未完全明确。
本研究旨在探讨PWEs记忆障碍的发生与临床特征及自尊之间的关系。
为了将从记忆障碍问卷（MAC-Q）获得的数据与临床特征相关联，使用罗森伯格自尊量表（SES）、简易精神状态检查表（MMSE）和简易认知成套测验-教育版对71名PWEs进行了评估。将这些数据与对照组（CG）的55名个体进行比较。
与CG组个体相比，PWEs的记忆障碍（MAC-Q≥25）明显更高[35（49.3%）对15（27.2%）；学生t检验；p=0.012]。PWEs的客观认知表现较低。记忆障碍与PWEs的较低教育水平、抑郁的存在、SES、MMSE、附带记忆以及画钟测验分数相关。
PWEs的记忆障碍比CG组个体更频繁，并且与认知缺陷、教育水平、抑郁和低自尊有关。
