摘要
This ambispective, observational study evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on managing children with Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) and the feasibility of telemedicine-based management for IESS. Caregivers of children with IESS were telephonically interviewed using a structured questionnaire and various relevant indices were compared between the study population and a pre-pandemic cohort from the same center. There was a significant increase in diagnostic lag during the pandemic (p = 0.04). Adrenocorticotropic hormone was the first-line antiseizure medication of choice in both cohorts and the response to treatment was also similar. Telemedicine was utilized by around 80% of caregivers and satisfaction rates with telemedicine were high. However, caregivers continued to rate physical consultations higher in preference.
