Epilepsy Prevalence In The 0-17 Age Group In Trabzon, Turkey |
|
| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Objective: Epilepsy is a most common serious neurological disorder and is one of the world’s most prevalent non-communicable diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of epilepsy in 0–17 year old children in Trabzon, Turkey. Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiological investigation was performed in two phases, a screening phase and a confirmation of the diagnosis phase. The gold standard was a clinical investigation and neurological examination. The diagnosis of epilepsy followed clinical guidelines proposed by the International League against Epilepsy (ILAE). The chi-square test was used in analysis of the results and P- value <0.05 was calculated. Findings : The prevalence per 1000 participants of epilepsy was 8.6 (5.9–11.4; 95% CI). We detected 37 cases (18 males and 19 females) of epilepsy. The male/female ratio was 0.95. This study showed an increased risk for epilepsy with low socioeconomic level, a history of postpartum seizure, meningitis, head trauma, febrile convulsion and family history of epilepsy. More than one seizure type was present in 15 (40.5%) of epileptic children. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures were determined in 24 patients (64.9%) and absence type in 9 (24.3%). It was found that 25.0% of children with epilepsy had never visited the school at the time the study was performed due to the disease and attendant seizures. Conclusion: The prevalence of epilepsy in Trabzon is low compared to other parts of Turkey and other developing countries. Key Words: Epilepsy; Prevalence; Risk Factor; Neurological Disorder |
