TL;DR: About 1 out of 150 children is diagnosed with epilepsy during the first 10 years of life, with the highest incidence rate observed during infancy, in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study.

TL;DR: The overall frequency of comorbid disease is high in children with epilepsy, including children with presumably uncomplicated epilepsies, who are at increased risk of other disorders and difficulties occurring before and after children are diagnosed with childhood epilepsy.

TL;DR: The study provides updated information about the distribution of seizures, epilepsies, and etiologies of epilepsy in the general child population, and compares the old and new classification systems from the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE).

TL;DR: Supplementation with cod liver oil in the winter did not reduce the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, serious covid-19, or other acute respiratory infections compared with placebo and was not associated with a reduced risk of any of the co-primary endpoints.

TL;DR: Having an identified cause of epilepsy (genetic, structural, metabolic, or infectious) was associated with unsatisfactory seizure outcome and influenced the relative risk associated with other prognostic factors and Sociodemographic characteristics were not associated with short-term seizure outcomes.
