Causal associations of ischemic stroke, metabolic factors, and related medications with epilepsy: a Mendelian randomization study
Our research suggests that ischemic stroke, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, and beta-blockers may increase the risk of epilepsy, whereas serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels and blood glucose levels may reduce the risk.
