Prevalence and factors associated with seizures among patients with dementia: A retrospective clinic‐based study
With the aging Filipino population, there is an expected rise in chronic diseases such as dementia and seizures. This study looked at dementia patients in an outpatient setting over 10 years and found that 4.1% developed seizures. Most patients had Alzheimer's disease, and seizures were more common in severe dementia cases.
