This is the first study of the incidence and lifetime prevalence of neurological disorders in recent times and it is found that these disorders give rise to significant morbidity in the community.

It is likely that field studies miss patients unless sensitive screening techniques for all epileptic phenomena are included in the case ascertainment and it is important to reach a balance between sensitivity and specificity, which has not yet been satisfactorily achieved.

There was a clear relationship between current seizure frequency and levels of anxiety and depression, perceived impact of epilepsy, perceived stigma, and marital and employment status, and there was little evidence that psychosocial functioning was associated with length of remission.

The SF-12 is able to produce the two summary scales originally developed from the SF-36 with considerable accuracy and yet with far less respondent burden, and may be an instrument of choice where a short generic measure providing summary information on physical and mental health status is required.

A need for prevalence information emphasizing racial differences prompted a door‐to‐door survey of all residents of Copiah County, Mississippi, and the survey yielded prevalence ratios of 1,043/100,000 inhabitants for epilepsy and 678 for active epilepsy, which were somewhat higher for males and for blacks.

It is concluded that this computerized assessment of neurotic symptoms is valid and reliable, it eliminates observer bias, it is an efficient use of research resources and it may have clinical applications in primary care.

The findings support the possibility of a shared genetic susceptibility to epilepsy and cerebral palsy, and suggest that the genetic contributions to postnatal symptomatic epilepsy are minimal.

85 Citations1995Yvonne Hart, Simon Shorvon
The study indicates that the majority of patients receiving treatment for epilepsy in the community have long-standing epilepsy, often intractable to medical treatment, and associated with considerable social handicap, and health care planning should take this into account.
EpilepsiaSocioeconomic Characteristics of Childhood Seizure Disorders in the New Haven Area: An Epidemiologic Study
85 Citations1979Sherry L. Shamansky, Gilbert H. Glaser
Blacks were found to be at much greater risk for childhood epilepsy than were whites, and there was an excess of epilepsy in black and white children living in lower socioeconomic areas during the later years of the decade, 1965–1970.

It was found that the employed patients had higher intelligence, less impairment on neuro‐psychological tests, less neurological and electroencephalographic abnormalities, and their work history was considerably better than that of the unemployed group.
