The median MMSE for females and males were 28 and 29, respectively. Educational status was found to be the single most important determinant of mean MMSE. There was also statistically significant association between MMSE and seizure frequency, as well as type of seizure disorder. Age at seizure onset, duration of seizure disorder and antiepileptic drugs treatment didn’t significantly affect the MMSE scores.
