The 2017 and 2022 ILAE epilepsy classification systems identify needs and opportunities in care: A paediatric hospital-based study.

Objectives: There is a paucity of studies reporting the epilepsy spectrum using the 2017 and 2022 ILAE classification systems in everyday clinical practice. To identify gaps and opportunities in care we evaluated a hospital-based cohort applying these epilepsy classification systems, including aetiology and co-morbidity, and the utility of molecular genetic diagnosis to identify available precision therapies.

Methods: Cross sectional retrospective study of all children with epilepsy (≤16 years) attending University Hospital Galway (2017-2022).

Narcolepsy in children and young people in Ireland: 2006-2017.

Aim: To describe the population of young people in Ireland diagnosed with narcolepsy with regards to vaccine exposure, symptomatology, investigation results and experience of medical treatment.

Method: Retrospective review of medical records at the single tertiary referral centre for young people with narcolepsy in Ireland.

Results: Sixty-seven patients were diagnosed with narcolepsy between July 2006 and July 2017.
