Description
  • Purpose: The aim of this survey was to review and compare the current approaches to epilepsy management in Central and Eastern EU (CEEU) countries. Method: The questionnaire was sent to ten invited experts from Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. It focused on the treatment of adults. Results: The number of neurologists and epilepsy reference centers is highly variable in CEEU countries. None of the analyzed states has a formal specialization in epileptology. No universal state-approved criteria for reference centers exist in Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, and Slovenia. Generally, the protocols for epilepsy treatment in CEEU countries, including drug-resistant epilepsy, are in accordance with international guidelines; however, most countries have their own national standards of care and some have local clinical guidelines. Also, the reimbursement systems for antiepileptic drugs in CEEU countries are highly variable. Seven countries have epilepsy surgery centers. The costs of epilepsy surgeries are fully reimbursed, procedures performed abroad may also be covered. The length of time spent on waiting lists for surgery following the completion of preoperative investigations varies from two weeks to three years. The fraction of patients who qualified and were operated on within 12 months ranges from 20% to 100%. Conclusion: The lack of unified procedures pertaining to the evaluation and therapy of epilepsy is reflected by marked differences in access to treatment modalities for patients from CEEU countries.
