Temporal trends and future projections of cysticercosis-induced epilepsy: insights from the global burden of disease study 2021- a cross-sectional study

This study elucidates the complex epidemiological landscape of CIE, noting a global increase in prevalence and YLDs number against a decline in rates. Over the next 15 years, the burden of CIE is expected to remain significant, with high SDI regions warranting particular focus. The findings emphasize the necessity for region-specific strategies to mitigate the projected growth of CIE, highlighting the importance of tailored interventions.
