RETRACTED: The quality of life among Sudanese patients with epilepsy, Khartoum, Sudan

1 This is the first study done in the National Center for Neurological Sciences, Khartoum State, to assess the quality of life among more than 100 Sudanese epileptic patients. 2 Quality of life in patients with brain disorders is less in comparison with individuals from the general population; it is negatively comparable and/or worse in epilepsy patients than that in patients with other chronic conditions. 3 In this national study, we found that lower levels of education and manual labor are associated with poor quality of life, epilepsy has an adverse impact on social life, there is a global decrease in cognitive function, and most of the patients are not worried about the side effects and duration of the medication usage.
