Demographic and regional patterns of epilepsy-related mortality in the USA: Insights from CDC WONDER data.
Review in Surgical neurology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Epilepsy poses significant challenges globally, with varied clinical, social, and economic impacts. Despite advances in treatment, epilepsy-related mortality remains a concern. This study aimed to analyze the demographic and regional distributions of epilepsy-related mortality in the United States (U.S.) from 1999 to 2020, identifying high-risk populations for targeted interventions. Methods: Data on death certificates were obtained from the 1999 to 2020 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Study Epidemiologic Research (CDC-WONDER) database. We gathered data on demographics, place of death, and urban/rural classification. Mortality rates per 100,000 people were computed and classified according to state, year, sex, race/ethnicity, and urban/rural status. Trends were examined using Joinpoint regression. Results: A total of 12,573 deaths (age <35), 22,947 (35-64), and 21,782 (65+) were attributed to epilepsy. Mortality rates varied by age group, sex, race/ethnicity, and region. Trends showed significant increases, notably in middle-aged and older adults, with higher rates in males and nonHispani, African American populations. Conclusion: Epilepsy-related mortality exhibits demographic and regional disparities in the U.S. Understanding these patterns can guide targeted interventions to mitigate mortality risk.
