Objective: To study the Inter – relationship between Quality of life and Cognitive dysfunction in People with Epilepsy to identify factors that influence Cognition QOL PWE. Methods: We analyzed were independently associated QOLIE-31, MMSE MOCA scores which included demographic clinical variables using Chi square, ANOVA Multivariate regression analysis. Pearson coefficient calculator know interrelationship QOLIE-3 scores, MOCA. Results: found a significant association polytherapy, TLE LRE QOLIE-31 (p value being 0.0007 <0.00001 respectively). low long duration epilepsy more than 6 years( p: 0.001 0.002), statistically highly when compared (p: 0.000). However showed strong positive correlation MMSE. moderate r 0.6 p <0.0001. Correlation QOLIE 31 score an 0.7 P <0.0000. total 0.8, 0.000. Conclusion: Polytherapy, Long Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe other Focal Epilepsies, Poor Life standards are all independent determining dysfunction. There seems be bidirectional superior for Neurocognitive screening
