- 1 May 1993
Age‐and gender‐specific incidence trends were similar to those of epilepsy, but a higher proportion of cases was of unknown etiology and was characterized by generalized onset seizures.

The increased risk of seizures after traumatic brain injury varies greatly according to the severity of the injury and the time since the injury.

The prevalence of epilepsy in Rochester, Minnesota has been determined for a specific date in each of 5 decennial census years since 1940, and was highest in the oldest age groups after 1950.

Mutations in LGI1 cause autosomal-dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features

- 28 January 2002
Discovery of LGI1 as a cause of ADPEAF suggests new avenues for research on pathogenic mechanisms of idiopathic epilepsies and shows that the expression pattern of mouse Lgi1 is predominantly neuronal and is consistent with the anatomic regions involved in temporal lobe epilepsy.

To determine cumulative incidence and predictors of new‐onset seizures in mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) with a cohort followed prospectively, a large number of patients with a history of seizures were followed.
Epidemiology of the epilepsies.

- 1 November 1996
It is likely that field studies miss patients unless sensitive screening techniques for all epileptic phenomena are included in the case ascertainment and it is important to reach a balance between sensitivity and specificity, which has not yet been satisfactorily achieved.
Descriptive epidemiology of epilepsy: contributions of population-based studies from Rochester, Minnesota.

- 1 June 1996
Over time, the incidence of epilepsy and of unprovoked seizures decreased in children and increased in the elderly population, and it was high in the first year of life but highest in those age 75 years or older.
