| Abstract (English): |
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects individuals at all stages of life. In adults, epilepsy presents distinct neurobiological, cognitive, and psychosocial characteristics compared to other population groups. It negatively impacts patients' quality of life, as well as their family and social dynamics, thereby representing a significant public health challenge. It is essential to identify associated multimorbidities, including cardiovascular and metabolic conditions, cognitive disorders, malignancies, and polypharmacy and antiseizure medication (ASM) interactions. These factors influence disease progression, poor seizure control, and increased mortality in adult patients with epilepsy. This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for the recognition, evaluation, and follow-up of the most common multimorbidities in adults with epilepsy and describes their impact on clinical decision-making.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
La epilepsia es una enfermedad neurológica crónica que afecta a la población en los extremos de la vida. La epilepsia en el adulto tiene aspectos neurobiológicos, cognoscitivos y psicosociales diferentes a los de otros grupos de población. Altera negativamente la calidad de vida del paciente, su dinámica familiar y social, convirtiéndose en un reto para la salud pública. Es importante identificar multimorbilidades asociadas, como las cardiovasculares, las metabólicas, los trastornos cognitivos, el cáncer, el uso de polifarmacia e interacciones de MAC, que son factores con influencia sobre el desarrollo, el mal control y el incremento de la mortalidad en el paciente adulto con epilepsia. La presente guía establece recomendaciones basadas en evidencia para el reconocimiento, el estudio y el seguimiento de las multimorbilidades más frecuentes en pacientes adultos con epilepsia y describe la influencia que tienen en la toma de decisiones médicas.
