REPORT
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of 166 adults who had previously undergone surgical treatment for intractable epilepsy was compared with that of outpatients having hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and/or depressive symptoms. Eight self-reported HRQOL domains were evaluated and compared using the RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.
