چکیده: (22 مشاهده)
Introduction: Geographical location, demography, and ethnicity all have an impact on epilepsy, a neurological condition. The prevalence and clinical features of epilepsy change along with population dynamics and lifestyles, which has an effect on healthcare management and policy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and demographic characteristics of epilepsy patients who were admitted to Alavi Hospital in Ardabil, Iran, in 2022.
Materials and Methods: A total of 400 epilepsy patients were evaluated using a census-based sampling method. Data were collected via comprehensive questionnaires, covering demographics (age, gender, residence, occupation, education, marital status, and economic status) and clinical data (disease duration, comorbidities, family history, risk factors, seizure types, medication use, and MRI/EEG findings).
Results: cases over 60 (104 cases) and those between the ages of 20 and 25 (72 patients) had the highest prevalence of epilepsy. The most prevalent comorbidities were diabetes (89 patients), mental illnesses (98 patients), and hypertension (104 individuals). The main course of treatment for 190 individuals was monotherapy. Head trauma (24 patients) and family history (27 patients) were major risk factors. The most prevalent seizure types were tonic-clonic (160 patients), tonic (40 patients), and focal seizures without loss of consciousness (79 patients). A history of seizures was recorded for 276 patients (69%). EEG results primarily showed no epileptiform patterns, but MRI findings revealed gliosis and encephalomalacia in 27 cases.
Conclusion: In Ardabil, tonic-clonic and tonic seizures were the most common types. The clinical features of epilepsy in this area are better understood thanks to these discoveries, which can help guide future treatment plans.
