To fulfill its task of informed clinical decision making and resource allocation, epidemiological studies in epilepsy must adhere to a series of methodological standards. These are reviewed. Because seizure and epilepsy classification systems may be viewed as extensions of the diagnosis, they have direct implications in the acquisition and interpretation of epidemiologic data. The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification systems are analyzed in this light. Finally, the lack of Canadian epidemiological studies is addressed, and the relevance and potential of Canadian epidemiological data in epilepsy is discussed.
