Aims.
Recent epidemiological studies have indicated that the incidence of epilepsy peaks after 60 years old, and epilepsy has become increasingly prevalent in elderly populations.
The aim of this study is to identify the aetiologic characteristics of epilepsy in the elderly.
Methods.
We retrospectively recruited elderly patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy identified in three epilepsy centres in western China; elderly patients were defined as individuals aged 60 years or older.
Demographic characteristics, clinical epilepsy data, and the diagnosis and aetiology of epilepsy were recorded.
Results.
A total of 760 patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy were enrolled in our study.
Of these patients, 25% had experienced one or more episodes of status epilepticus, and 62.4% were confirmed as symptomatic.
Among the symptomatic cohort, stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) were the two most common causes of epilepsy, followed by cerebral tumour, dementia, hippocampal sclerosis (HS), and central nervous system (CNS) infection.
When analysed by residence and age, ischaemic stroke was the most common cause of epilepsy in urban patients, whereas traumatic brain injury was the leading cause of epilepsy in rural patients.
Conclusion.
More than three-fifths of newly diagnosed epilepsy cases in elderly patients were confirmed as symptomatic, and stroke and traumatic brain injury were the primary aetiologies in elderly epileptic patients.
