We investigated the online behavior of Internet users consulting the website of the Italian Chapter of the International League Against Epilepsy (Lega Italiana Contro l'Epilessia [LICE]). We obtained the visualization statistics of the LICE website using AWStats (https://awstats.sourceforge.io/) and Google Trends (https://trends.google.com/trends/), and compared the statistics of years 2010, 2014, and 2017. The following variables were analyzed: number of unique visitors and visits, visit duration, the day of week and rush hours, most downloaded documents, most viewed pages, keyphrases and keywords used for online searches, origins of searches, and geographic trends of Google searches related to the LICE. The total numbers of unique visitors, visits and page views remained quite stable over time. Most visits (70 to 76.7%) lasted less than 30 s. The most frequent keyphrases and keywords used for online searches were related to clinical guidelines and driving license. Among the most frequently downloaded documents were general guides on epilepsy. The pages with the list of epilepsy centers endorsed by the LICE and those with the list of LICE guidelines were among those most frequently viewed, together with educational videos. Most users directly accessed the website without being referred from external links. No information on geographic origin of Google searches was available. The visualization statistics suggested two distinct populations of visitors. The first one is likely represented by physicians who seek specialist information on diagnosis and management of epilepsy, including guidelines. The second population is represented by lay people who seek accessible and easily comprehensible information to better understand epilepsy and know which centers are best for its management.
我们调查了咨询国际抗癫痫联盟意大利分会（意大利抗癫痫联盟[LICE]）网站的互联网用户的在线行为。我们使用AWStats（https://awstats.sourceforge.io/）和谷歌趋势（https://trends.google.com/trends/）获取了LICE网站的可视化统计数据，并比较了2010年、2014年和2017年的统计数据。分析了以下变量：独立访客数量和访问次数、访问时长、星期几和高峰时段、下载量最多的文档、浏览量最多的页面、用于在线搜索的关键短语和关键词、搜索来源以及与LICE相关的谷歌搜索的地理趋势。随着时间的推移，独立访客、访问和页面浏览的总数保持相当稳定。大多数访问（70%至76.7%）持续时间不到30秒。用于在线搜索的最常见关键短语和关键词与临床指南和驾驶执照有关。下载量最多的文档中有癫痫的一般指南。LICE认可的癫痫中心列表页面以及LICE指南列表页面与教育视频一起，是浏览量最高的页面之一。大多数用户直接访问该网站，而非通过外部链接跳转。没有关于谷歌搜索地理来源的信息。可视化统计数据表明有两类不同的访客群体。第一类可能是寻求癫痫诊断和管理方面专业信息（包括指南）的医生。第二类群体是寻求易于获取和理解的信息以更好地了解癫痫并知道哪些中心最适合癫痫管理的普通民众。
