Title

A Cohort Concurrent Observational Study On Descriptive Epidemiology Of Epilepsy

Abstract

Epilepsy, a neurological condition which affects all ages, most commonly children. But the studies regarding the epidemiological rates were very few. In this study, we present the percentage analysis, estimates of ratios, confidence intervals and probability values of epilepsy along with the age and gender wise distributions of epileptic patients, type and frequency of seizures, family history, clustering, age of onset, time of occurrence, MRI imaging and anti-convulsants prescribed to pediatrics in Warangal. The study was conducted in Rohini super specialty hospital and Sri Sri Neuro clinic in Hanamkonda. 217 epileptic cases were included and the details of the cases were recorded and the data was documented, analyzed, quantified and validated. Ratios, Confidence Interval and Probability were the key parameters. From the results it was found that 48% of cases were pediatrics, which indicates the importance of epidemiological studies in pediatric population. The family history of epileptic patients and clustering were found to be less significant and the predominant types of seizures were the generalized ones. From the MRI imaging in the pediatrics, it was found that 45% were diagnosed with calcified granulomatous lesions in right fronto-parietal region and lacunar lesions in ventricular regions. The ratio of males-females is 1.89:1 and the 95% Confidence Interval for males is 0.654 and for females, it is 0.346 and the Probability (p) value is 5.40922E-06.

Key Words
