Abstract

Objectives - To identify early predictors of intractability in childhood and adolescence epilepsy. Materials and methods - We carried out a community- based case-control study using the incidence cohort of epileptic patients living in the district of Copparo, in the province of Ferrara, Italy. The comparative study was performed in 31 cases and 95 controls. Cases were patients who averaged at least 1 unprovoked seizure per month during an observational period of at least 2 years. Controls were subjects having achieved remission for at least 5 years regardless of current therapy. Results - Onset at age
