Changes in overlap of subjective and objective cognition over time in epilepsy surgery candidates

Many people with epilepsy (PWE) suffer from cognitive impairments, and neuropsychological investigations are an integral part of comprehensive epilepsy care [1]. Nevertheless, the overlap of subjective cognition (SC) and results of objective tests is often weak [2]. Previous studies found that discordance of SC and objective cognition (OC) occurs in 60-80% of PWE [3–5]. Cognitive dysfunction in PWE may have multifactorial reversible and irreversible causes that may impact SC and OC to different degrees.
