Prevalence of epilepsy: a population-based cohort study in Denmark with comparison to Global Burden of Disease (GBD) prevalence estimates
Prevalence estimates of 'total epilepsy', 'idiopathic epilepsy' and 'secondary epilepsy' in Denmark align with the GBD 2019 estimates. In future studies, it is suggested to explicitly include all types of epilepsy, including 'secondary epilepsy', which is currently estimated as sequelae (consequences) of underlying diseases.
