Abstract

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 0–7 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 andP- 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.
