Ten‐year projection of adult epilepsy burden in Australia
This dynamic life table model, based on the current standard of care for epilepsy, demonstrates quality of life impact, productivity loss, and cost burden due to uncontrolled seizures and drug resistance, supporting the need for further investment in epilepsy care. This approach can be applied to other countries to inform policy decisions in epilepsy from a societal perspective.
