Epilepsy risk factors include family history and birth complications. Hospital deliveries may increase vulnerability. Further case-control studies are recommended for confirmation.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder.
  • Identifying risk factors is crucial for prevention and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the characteristics of individuals with epilepsy.
  • To determine risk factors associated with epilepsy development.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study was conducted at the Epilepsy Clinic, Ahbab Hospital, Lahore.
  • Data from 158 epilepsy patients (89 males, 69 females) were collected using a questionnaire.
  • Socio-demographic data, family history, perinatal factors, and maternal age were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Key risk factors identified were family history (23.52%) and perinatal medical problems (12.66%).
