EPIDEMIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF EPILEPSY IN THE PEDIATRIC POPULATION IN ROMANIA

Epidemiological studies on epilepsy should provide information regarding its frequency, risk factors, etiologies, associated disorders, outcome and costs. One country can or cannot perform such studies, depending on funding, among other factors. The aim of our paper is to review the various epidemiological approaches and to discuss the associated problems: epilepsy diagnosis, data collection in epidemiological studies, term definitions and the results of a mathematical modelling compared to the current reports available for Romania.
