Abstract

Prevalence estimates of 'total epilepsy', 'idiopathic epilepsy' and 'secondary epilepsy' in Denmark align with the GBD 2019 estimates. In future studies, it is suggested to explicitly include all types of epilepsy, including 'secondary epilepsy', which is currently estimated as sequelae (consequences) of underlying diseases.
