A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study follows adults with an unprovoked seizure or epilepsy in western Sweden to identify biomarkers and genetic predispositions relevant for diagnosis and treatment. It collects baseline data and outcome variables from various patient registries, including electronic medical records and national health registers. The aim is to understand the long-term prognosis and consequences of epilepsy in this population.
