Article Synopsis
- - This study assesses epilepsy prevalence in Saudi Arabia, analyzing data from six studies with 7,408 participants, mostly female (89.9%).
- - It finds that epilepsy is underreported, with causes primarily linked to structural issues like strokes, alongside genetic factors; many cases remain unexplained.
- - The review highlights gender differences in seizure severity and age-related vulnerabilities, stressing the need for better diagnostic methods and focused research to understand epilepsy's true impact in the region.
Background: There is scant data regarding the use of oral disease-modifying treatments (oDMT) in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (PwRRMS) from Saudi Arabia.
Objective: This study aimed to identify the response rate to oDMT in PwRRMS compared to interferon (IFN) in terms of achieving no evidence of disease activity-3 (NEDA-3).
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia and included all adult PwRRMS over a 2-year period who were on oDMTs or IFN for <1 year.
