[Some factors influencing epilepsy course (according to an epidemiological survey)]
Abstract:
Epilepsy typology and some factors influencing polymorphism of epilepsy course are presented. The analysis of the results of entire clinical and epidemiological study conducted in patients with epilepsy from community settings of Jewish autonomy region was undertaken. Among 547 cases examined, the course type was determined in 502 patients. A contribution of constitutional and genetic factors was studied. Factors influencing, to a certain extent, the course type of epilepsy, i.e. sex, childhood speech disorders, psychomotor development delay, epileptic-like traits in premorbid adjustment, presence of postnatal complications, age at the disease onset, were detected. At the same time, such factors as antenatal and perinatal complications, presence of convulsing and nonconvulsing childhood paroxysmal states in epilepsy patient's anamnesis, positive family history of the disease, do not affect the disease course. The data obtained may be used for prognosis of early disease stages and during clinical examination of the patients.
