Incidence of Acute Symptomatic Seizures in Rochester, Minnesota, 1935‐1984
Abstract
Summary We determined the incidence of seizures due to acute CNS insults for residents of Rochester, Minnesota, U.S.A., from 1935 though 1984. The age‐adjusted incidence rates for 1955–1984, the period of most complete case ascertainment, was 39.0/100,000 person‐years (United States 1970 population as standard). The age‐adjusted incidence was considerably higher in men: 52.0 as compared with 29.5 in women. The 3.6% risk of experiencing an acute symptomatic seizure in an 80‐year lifespan approaches that of developing epilepsy. The major causes of acute symptomatic seizures were traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular disease, drug withdrawal, and CNS infections. Each type of acute symptomatic seizure has age, gender, and time period patterns that reflect the occurrence of the underlying cause.

“Epileptic seizures are quite common, affecting between 8 and 10% of the population throughout their lifetime and accounting for 1–2% of presentations to an emergency room, and about a quarter of these will be first seizure with a different type (Table 1) [1,2].”

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.
