Objectives: Seizure burden is typically measured by seizure frequency yet it entails more than seizure counts, especially for people with severe epilepsies and their caregivers. We aimed to characterize the multi-faceted nature of seizure burden in young people and their parents who are living with severe early-life epilepsies.
Methods: A one-day workshop and a series of teleconferences were held with parents of children with severe, refractory epilepsy of early-life origin and providers for children with epilepsy.
