Description
Kamel Alenazi and Ahmad Alanezi chart three decades of childhood epilepsy with no known cause in Saudi Arabia, in this 2024 study. Drawing on Global Burden of Disease estimates for children up to fourteen, the authors track cases, deaths, and healthy years lost from 1990 to 2019.
Rates of new and existing cases rose modestly over the period, as did years lived with disability. Deaths, though, fell by about seventy percent, and the total burden eased. The authors call for national studies that can split the picture by region, sex, and income, and weigh the disease's toll on learning and life quality.
