Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (PGTCS) on the quality of life, healthcare costs, and productivity among patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), examining how these factors vary with different seizure frequencies.
- Participants were identified from a large national survey conducted in the US, several European countries, and Brazil, with findings showing that over 40% of patients self-reported persistent seizures.
- Results indicated that patients experiencing more frequent seizures reported lower mental and physical health scores compared to those with less frequent occurrences, highlighting the significant burden associated with higher seizure frequencies.
