The Humanistic and Economic Burden of Pediatric Focal Seizures in the United States

Abstract: Objective: To better understand the humanistic and economic burden of focal seizures in children 2-12 years old. Methods: We conducted a targeted literature review by searching MEDLINE for English-language publications reporting on children 2-12 years old with focal seizures published in the United States since 2008. Results: Thirty-five publications were included. Incidence of focal seizures was 23.2 to 47.1 per 100,000 children per year; prevalence was 2.0 per 1,000 children, and ranged from 1.6 - 2.6 per 1,… Show more

“…However, in some cases, exclusion could only be determined from post-intervention questionnaires. Based on the outtake information, 14 infants were deemed ineligible due to neurodegenerative diagnoses and/or seizure disorder that became uncontrolled during the study period, 22 1 infant was ineligible due to a neurodegenerative diagnosis at baseline, 1 infant was ineligible due to inadequate sitting at baseline, and 6 infants were ineligible due to Bayley gross motor scores ≤1.0 SD below the mean at baseline. The latter 7 infants did not meet our original inclusion criteria and were thus excluded prior to analysis for final outcomes.…”
