Methods A search was conducted on five databases for articles published in English from 1980 till March 2015. Included were studies who recruited children (aged 5–18 years), with a diagnosis or newly/recurrent epilepsy, an intelligent quotient (IQ) of ≥70 or attending regular school, with or without a control group, which measured academic achievement using a standardised objective measure, and published in English. Excluded were children with learning difficulties, intellectual disabilities (IQ < 70) and other comorbidities such as attention deficits hyperactive disorder or autism. Two pairs of reviewers extracted the data, and met to resolve any differences from the data extraction process. Results Twenty studies were included. The majority of the studies assessed “low achievement” whist only two studies used the IQ-achievement discrepancy definition of “underachievement”. Fourteen studies (70%) reported that CWE had significantly lower academic achievement scores compared to healthy controls, children with asthma or reported norms. The remaining six studies (30%) did not report any differences. CWE had stable academic achievement scores over time (2–4 years), even among those whose seizure frequency improved. Higher parental education and children with higher IQ, and had better attention or had a positive attitude towards epilepsy, were associated with higher academic achievement score. Older children were found to have lower academic achievement score. Conclusions In CWE of normal intelligence, the majority of published literature found that academic achievement was lower than controls or reported norms. The high percentages of low achievement in CWE, especially in the older age group, and the stability of scores even as seizure frequency improved, highlights the need for early screening of learning problems, and continued surveillance. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.}, note = {cited By 8}, keywords = {Academic Achievement, Academic Success, Achievement, Attitude to Health, Autism, Benign Childhood Epilepsy, Children, Children with Epilepsy, Cohort Analysis, Comorbidity, Cross-Sectional Study, English (Language), Epilepsy, Human, Intellectual Impairment, Intelligence, Intelligence Quotient, Learning Disorder, Observational Study, Parenting Education, Priority Journal, Psychology, Recurrent Disease, Recurrent Epilepsy, Review, Scoring System, Systematic Review, Underachievement}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } Purpose To systematically examine published literature which assessed the prevalence of academic difficulties in children with epilepsy (CWE) of normal intelligence, and its associating factors.
