Objectives
We aimed to determine the regional incidence and mortality of adult epilepsy, compare mortality rates with the expected in the general population, and identify predictors of shorter survival.
Materials and Methods
We included all consecutive newly diagnosed epilepsy visited at a university hospital in Spain throughout 2012. We collected all relevant clinical data up to December 2018...
We reviewed 37 studies reporting long‐term outcomes after a status epilepticus (SE) episode in pediatric and adult populations. Study design, length of follow‐up, outcome measures, domains investigated (mortality, SE recurrence, subsequent epilepsy, cognitive outcome, functional outcome, or quality of life), and predictors of long‐term outcomes are summarized. Despite heterogeneity in the design of...

Epilepsy surgery is an accepted treatment, with guidelines supporting utilization in patients with recurrent temporal lobe seizures after two or more trials of antiepileptic medications.
