Caregiver impact and health service use in high and low severity Dravet syndrome: a multinational cohort study

Dravet syndrome (DS) is a rare and complex developmental encephalopathy characterised by refractory epilepsy, motor and cognitive impairments, and behavioural disorders (such as attention/hyperactivity symptoms, autistic traits, conduct problems and problems with peer relationships).[1–3] Families of children with DS report significant health and social burden, however, few studies have assessed the magnitude of this impact.[4]
