Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of a screening questionnaire for the detection of epileptic seizures in epidemiological studies
TL;DR: The design and the two-staged validation procedures undertaken to authenticate the screening questionnaire, which was used to detect epileptic seizures in the community during this project, are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The chalfont seizure severity scale
John S. Duncan,Josemir W. Sander +1 more
TL;DR: A seizure severity scale, that measures the components of seizures that cause patients the most disturbance, is presented with an assessment of the scale's validity and reliability.

TL;DR: It is shown that, at best, common genetic variation can only have a modest role in predisposition to the partial epilepsies when considered across syndromes in Europeans, and research efforts should also be directed towards identifying the multiple rare variants likely to account for at least part of the heritability of the partial seizures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiology of epilepsy and learning disability.
TL;DR: The paucity of authoritative studies on prognosis, mortality, and treatment of this special group belies this, and this encourages a substantial lacune in current knowledge of the epilepsies, and deficiencies must be addressed appropriately.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epilepsy in the United Kingdom: seizure frequency and severity, anti-epileptic drug utilization and impact on life in 1652 people with epilepsy
N.F. Moran,K. Poole,Gail S. Bell,J. Solomon,Sally Kendall,Mark I. McCarthy,D. McCormick,Lina Nashef,Josemir W. Sander,Simon Shorvon +9 more
TL;DR: Seizures remain uncontrolled in up to half of all people with epilepsy in the UK with significant impact on work, family and social life and that seizure frequency appears to decline with increasing age.
