The Determination of Epilepsy Prevalance in Adana City Center and Relationship with Sociodemographical Factors

Öz

 In this study, identification of epilepsy prevalence, epilepsy patients’ demographical data and epilepsy risk factors in the Adana city centre is aimed. Methods: This is a community-based cross-sectional study, and by using “proportional stratified sampling method”, target population of 7052 people was identified with considering Adana city center population. Three districts, reflecting general socioeconomic status, are identified by using random sampling method. One doctor and two pollsters filled survey forms by face to face interviews. When the target population of 7052 people was reached, the study was terminated. Pre-diagnosed epilepsy patients and participants who are more likely to be diagnosed with the epilepsy in the future, because of their history features, are invited to our clinic for further surveys and investigations. Results: Out of 7052 participants who were face to face interviewed, 3577 of them were male (50,7%) and 3475 were female (49,3%). 52 of the participants were epilepsy patients and active prevalence of the epilepsy was found as 0,7%. 31 of the 52 patients were male (59,6%), 21 of the 52 patients were female (40,4%). Prevalence of the epilepsy in the high, medium and low socioeconomic status districts were 0,3%, 0,7% and 1,4% respectively. As the socioeconomic level decreased, the prevalence of epilepsy increased and the results were statistically significant. (p<0,001) Conclusion: Our findings support the results of thp reviously conducted prevalence studies in our country and in the world. As socioeconomic status increases, prevalence of the epilepsy decreases. This result can be explained with worse living conditions, inadequate prenatal and childhood medical care and more traumatic working conditions of low socioeconomic status people. As the studies related to the prevalence of epilepsy in our country increase, it is obvious that the factors contributing to the development of the disease will be better known and the awareness of the epilepsy in our society will increase.
