PURPOSE
We wished to determine the incidence of epilepsy in the population of rural Iceland.
METHODS
Cases were identified through review of records of primary care facilities for the study population, supplemented by review of referrals to EEG facilities and neurologic specialists.
RESULTS
The incidence of epilepsy (recurrent unprovoked seizures) was 47 in 100,000. Age-specific incidence was bimodal, highest in the youngest and oldest age groups. About one third of the patients had an identifiable etiology, and one third had partial seizures. Integration of imaging and neurophysiologic data did little to modify the distribution of etiology or seizure type.
CONCLUSIONS
The present study confirms findings of other recent studies of incidence in Western Countries.
目的
我们希望确定冰岛农村人口中癫痫的发病率。
方法
通过查阅研究人群的初级保健机构记录来确定病例，并辅以查阅脑电图检查机构和神经科专家的转诊记录。
结果
癫痫（复发性无诱因发作）的发病率为每10万人中有47例。年龄特异性发病率呈双峰分布，在最年轻和最年长的年龄组中最高。约三分之一的患者有可识别的病因，三分之一有部分性发作。影像学和神经生理学数据的整合对病因或发作类型的分布影响不大。
结论
本研究证实了近期其他关于西方国家发病率研究的结果。
