1 The perceived burden of epilepsy: Impact on the quality of life of children and adolescents and their families  Carlo Cianchetti, Paolo Messina, Elisabetta Pupillo, Giovanni Crichiutti, Maria Giuseppina Baglietto, Pierangelo Veggiotti, Nelia Zamponi, Susanna Casellato, Lucia Margari, Giuseppe Erba, Ettore Beghi  Seizure - European Journal of Epilepsy  Volume 24, Pages (January 2015) DOI: /j.seizure Copyright © 2014 British Epilepsy Association Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) of clinical and outcome variables. MCA plotting of the levels of the outcome variables (Low/Mid/High concern, child QoL and family QoL) and levels of disease duration, etiology, number of seizures and severity. The interpretation of the MCA plot is based upon proximities between points (i.e., variables levels) in a two-dimensional space. The proximity between levels of different variables (i.e., “High concern”, “Low child QoL”, “Low family Qol”, “Symptomatic”, “10+ seiz/month”, “Old epilepsy” etc.), suggests that those levels tend to appear together in the dataset as a cluster. Conversely, “new epilepsy”, “0–1 seiz/month”, “Idiopathic” and “Low severity epilepsies” were closer to Medium and High QoL.
