Antiepileptic Drugs
Abstract
At a conservative estimate, 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy. The annual incidence ranges from 20 to 70 cases per 100,0001 and the point prevalence is 0.4 to 0.8 percent.2 The incidence rates are highest in childhood, plateau from the age of 15 to 65 years, and rise again among the elderly. Overall, 5 percent of persons report a seizure at some time in their lives. This figure excludes febrile convulsions, which occur in approximately 5 percent of children. These data suggest that there is a substantial rate of remission, even among persons who never receive treatment with an antiepileptic . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
