PurposeDocument the frequency, types and risk factors for injuries caused by seizures for people with childhood onset epilepsy.MethodWe contacted patients with all types of epilepsy except childhood absence from the Nova Scotia Childhood Epilepsy population-based cohort. Seizure onset was between 1977 and 1985. Patients and parents were asked about serious injuries resulting from a seizure, defined as severe enough for an urgent physician or dentist visit.ResultsOf 595 eligible patients, we contacted 472 (79%). During an average follow up of 23.9±8 years, 52 (11%) experienced ≥1 serious injury for a total of 81 injuries. Of all injuries, 24 (30%) were lacerations requiring sutures, 15 (19%) fractures, 11 (14%) broken teeth, 8 (10%) concussions, 4 (5%) burns, and 20 (25%) other. “Other” included 1 fatal drowning, 2 near-drownings, 3 shoulder dislocations and 1 severe eye injury. Four injuries occurred with the first seizure; all others after a long gap from seizure onset (range 1.5–30 years). Injuries occurred in all epilepsy syndromes, most commonly with symptomatic generalized epilepsy (17% vs. 11% p=0.03) and intractable epilepsy (28% vs. 8% p |
