The epidemiology of epilepsy in older adults: A narrative review by the ILAE Task Force on Epilepsy in the Elderly

Ettore Beghi et al.

Summary: In an aging world, it is important to understand the burden of epilepsy among older populations. Studies have shown that individuals older than 60 years old face an increasing risk of both acute symptomatic seizures and epilepsy. This risk differs between wealthier and lower socioeconomic populations. There is a lack of data in certain areas and more research is needed to fill this gap.

Management of epilepsy in older adults: A critical review by the ILAE Task Force on Epilepsy in the elderly

Loretta Piccenna et al.

Summary: Older adults with epilepsy are a diverse population, and individualized treatment approaches are crucial. Most studies have shown levetiracetam to have the best long-term seizure freedom outcomes, but there is limited research on other newer antiseizure medications. More studies are needed to understand the effectiveness and side effects of treatment, including the impact on quality of life. It is important to move beyond just seizure control and focus on long-term patient-centered outcomes.

Clinical and Instrumental Characterization of Patients With Late-Onset Epilepsy

Jacopo C. DiFrancesco et al.

Summary: Epilepsy, traditionally considered a childhood disease, is also prevalent in the elderly population, ranking as the third most common neurological condition after stroke and dementia. The increasing number of Late-Onset Epilepsy (LOE) patients, especially in developed countries with a higher proportion of elderly individuals, has significant economic and social implications. The main causes of LOE are structural, arising from cerebrovascular or infectious diseases, brain tumors, trauma, and metabolic or toxic conditions. Furthermore, there is a growing link between LOE and neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, a considerable portion of LOE cases remain of unknown origin, highlighting the importance of comprehensive phenotypic characterization in identifying the causes and improving treatment and prognosis. This review provides a detailed overview of clinical and instrumental techniques for the adequate characterization of LOE patients, aiming to support clinicians in their routine practice.

Meta-analysis of the risk of dementia in elderly patients with late-onset epilepsy

Ting Tang et al.

Summary: This study systematically evaluates the risk of dementia in elderly patients with late-onset epilepsy and finds a correlation between the two. Female patients have a slightly higher proportion of dementia, and diabetes mellitus may serve as a potential risk factor for dementia in elderly epilepsy patients.

Atrophy and cognitive profiles in older adults with temporal lobe epilepsy are similar to mild cognitive impairment

Erik Kaestner et al.

Summary: Older adults with temporal lobe epilepsy show patterns of cortical atrophy and cognitive impairment similar to those with amnestic mild cognitive impairment, with both groups exhibiting memory and language impairments. Late-onset temporal lobe epilepsy patients have more consistent cortical thinning compared to early-onset patients.

Late-onset epilepsy predicts stroke: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Jasmine Wall et al.

Summary: Late-onset epilepsy (LOE) is closely associated with cerebrovascular disease and may act as an early marker for stroke and dementia. More prospective research is needed to understand the natural history of LOE due to limited current understanding.

Ten year cumulative incidence of dementia after late onset epilepsy of unknown etiology

Keret Ophir et al.

Summary: Recent epidemiological studies suggest that late life onset epilepsy of unknown etiology (LOEU) is a risk factor for future dementia. The studies assessed the cumulative incidence of dementia in LOEU patients through admission data and neuroimaging over a 10-year follow-up period, identifying baseline characteristics that distinguish group level incident dementia.
