Article Synopsis
- Equitable access to epilepsy care varies by country, and a study in France aimed to identify factors affecting surgical access for patients with refractory medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE-HS).
- The study analyzed data from 293 patients, finding that only age at onset, pensioner status, and student status significantly influenced delays in accessing video-EEG, while migratory status and socio-economic factors did not.
- The authors recommend that France enhance communication among healthcare practitioners to improve timely referrals for surgery, regardless of patients' demographics.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the prevalence and risk factors of epilepsy in six health districts in Mali, where its occurrence is often underestimated.
- Through a community-based cross-sectional design, researchers enrolled 1,506 epilepsy cases and 2,199 controls, discovering a mean epilepsy prevalence of 2‰, with variations across different districts.
- Key risk factors identified included age, history of cerebral malaria and meningitis, geographic location (specifically Tominian), and complications during delivery like delayed delivery and dystocia.
