Epilepsy mortality and risk factors for death in epilepsy: a population-based study Abstract Background Epilepsy is an important cause of amenable mortality but risk factors for death in epilepsy are not well understood.
Aim To evaluate trends in epilepsy mortality in a large population and identify risk factors for death in epilepsy.
Design and setting Nested case–control study in the UK, using data from the General Practice Research Database (GPRD) from 1993 to 2007.
Method Participants were included if they had ever been diagnosed with epilepsy and prescribed anticonvulsant drugs. Trends in all-cause mortality in persons with epilepsy in the GPRD were compared with death registrations with epilepsy as the underlying cause. A nested case–control study was implemented to compare participants with epilepsy who died with those who did not die.
Results The prevalence of epilepsy increased from 9 per 1000 in 1993 to 12 per 1000 in 2007, and epilepsy deaths also increased in this period. In a nested case–control study, mortality was associated with: recorded alcohol problems (odds ratio [OR] 2.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.25 to 3.89, P
