Baseline cognition, behavior, and motor skills in @entity1 with new-onset, XXXX .

AIM: @entity302 is associated with difficulties in cognition and behavior in @entity1 . These problems have been attributed to genetics, ongoing @entity410 , psychosocial issues, underlying abnormality of the brain, and/or antiepileptic drugs. In a previous study, we found baseline cognitive differences between @entity1 with partial versus generalized and @entity410 versus non- @entity410 @entity410 . Measures in that study focused primarily on IQ scores. In the present study, we assessed baseline function with respect to new learning, attention, and memory, thus providing a more comprehensive profile than our previous study. METHOD: We examined 57 @entity1 (42 females, 15 males), aged 6 to 17 years (mean 10y 1mo, SD 2y 9mo), with new-onset, @entity3762 , using tests of cognitive function reflective of new learning, memory, and attention. @entity410 were classified as generalized @entity410 (n=5), generalized non- @entity410 (n=18), or focal (n=34). Focal @entity410 were divided into unilateral versus bilateral independent foci, and presence versus absence of secondary generalization. RESULTS: Attention was a particular area of weakness across all groups. The Vocabulary score of an intelligence screen was higher for the focal @entity410 groups (p=0.012), primarily because of a difference between the unilateral focal and the primary generalized groups (p<0.047). @entity1 with generalized, non- @entity410 @entity410 performed significantly worse than the focal group on a measure of short-term auditory memory (p=0.019). All groups performed poorly on a test of visual-motor speed. INTERPRETATION: These findings suggest @entity854 in @entity1 with new-onset, @entity3762 at baseline.
