Abstract

Confusion about the risk of seizures following head trauma might in part reflect methodologic limitations of reported studies. This epidemiologic review emphasizes four methodologic issues: selection of cases, selection of controls, definition and ascertain of seizures, and definition, of seizures, and definition, classification, and ascertainment of trauma. Although the focus of this review is a set of reports of civilian injuries, the relevance of war studies to civilian injuries is also discussed.

摘要

关于头部创伤后癫痫发作风险的混淆可能部分反映了已报道研究的方法学局限性。这一流行病学综述强调了四个方法学问题：病例选择、对照选择、癫痫发作的定义与确定以及创伤的定义、分类与确定。尽管本综述的重点是一组关于平民受伤的报告，但也讨论了战争研究与平民受伤的相关性。
