About this trial

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy (DEE) are a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental disorders linked to both epilepsy and its underlying etiology, independently of epileptiform activity.

The creation of a database with retrospective follow-up of a large number of patients on a national scale will enable better knowledge of specific biomarkers, and thus a better classification and understanding of the natural evolution of DEE according to their etiology. This will enable better, more personalized therapeutic management of patients, depending on etiology and the presence or absence of these biomarkers. The investigators will also be able to draw up management recommendations, which are currently non-existent.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Identification of diagnostic and early predictive biomarkers of a neurodevelopmental trajectory with epileptic and developmental encephalopathies

This composite outcome includes multiple diagnostic domains (Clinical, biological, radiological, genetic and electroencephalographic variables)

Time frame
Data 2002-2026

Secondary outcomes

1

Identification of patient subgroups presenting the identified biomarkers

To identify patient subgroups, correlation analyses will be carried out to highlight any common clinical, biological, genetic, radiological and electroencephalographic findings.

Time frame
Data 2002-2026
2

Assessment of patients' quality of life

The SF-12 questionnaire is used to assess quality of life.

Time frame
Data 2002-2026
3

Assessment of age-related adaptive behavior

To assess the age of adaptive behavior, the Vineland II scale is the reference test.

Time frame
Data 2002-2026
4

Assessment of behavioral disorders

The CBCL (Child Behaviour Checklist) questionnaire is the reference test for assessing behavioural problems.

Time frame
Data 2002-2026
