Epilepsy dramatically affects the quality of life (QoL) of children, and resection surgery can improve their QoL by reducing seizures or completely controlling them. Children who have postoperative seizures tend to show a poorer QoL. The aim of the present study was to investigate the QoL of children with seizures after resection surgery and its influencing factors. In the present study, we retrospectively reviewed 151 consecutive children who underwent resection surgery. We then divided them into two groups, seizure and seizure-free groups, according to the seizure outcomes 1 year after surgery. Variables were categorized into a number of factor types such as preoperative factors, surgery-related factors, postoperative factors, and family factors. QoL and seizure outcomes more than 3 years after surgery were assessed according to the ILAE seizure outcome classification and the CHEQOL-25 scale. Forty-three (28.5%) of the 151 children had seizures 1 year after surgery, and two children died during the follow-up period. The mean CHEQOL-25 scale for children with seizures was 63.5 ± 18.2, and 20 (48.8%) patients had poor QoL. Surgery-related factors, such as surgical complications and surgical sequelae, were not statistically associated with QoL. Preoperative language development retardation or language dysfunction [odds ratio (OR) = 29.3, P = 0.012) and postoperative ILAE seizure outcome classification (OR = 1.9, P = 0.045)] were significantly associated with QoL. Children with seizures after resection surgery had a relatively poor QoL. Surgery-related factors, such as surgical complications and surgical sequelae, cannot predict the QoL. Preoperative language development retardation or language dysfunction and postoperative ILAE seizure outcome classification were independent predictors of the quality of life (QoL). For children who could not achieve the expected freedom from seizure after surgery, a lower ILAE grade (ILAE 1-3) is also an acceptable outcome since it predicts a higher QoL.
