Time-Dependent Risk of Dementia Following Epilepsy Diagnosis: A Nationwide Cohort Study in South Korea
The risk of dementia in patients with epilepsy varies with time since diagnosis, age, and sex. Early cognitive assessment and targeted interventions, particularly in younger male patients, are crucial to reduce the long-term burden of dementia. These results provide critical insight for clinicians and public health strategists to enhance the care of patients with epilepsy.
