Figure 1 Mini-mental state examination score of cognitive function among the study participants. Control: Healthy volunteers (n = 30); Normal: Epilepsy patients with normal cognitive function (n = 74); epilepsy patients with cognitive dysfunction (n = 37). ECD: Epilepsy patients with cognitive dysfunction; MoCa: Montreal Cognitive Assessment; MMSE: Mini-mental state examination.

Control: Healthy volunteers (n = 30); Normal: Epilepsy patients with normal cognitive function (n = 74); epilepsy patients with cognitive dysfunction (n = 37). ECD: Epilepsy patients with cognitive dysfunction; NPTX2: Neuronal pentraxin 2.

A to C: Correlation between serum levels of NPTX2 and MMSE score in (A), age (B), and epilepsy duration (C) in epilepsy patients with cognitive dysfunction. NPTX2: Neuronal pentraxin 2; MMSE: Mini-mental state examination.
