Estimating the prevalence and incidence of epilepsy in the absence of physician assessment is challenging. In Canada, the incidence of epilepsy is unknown while two reports of the estimated lifetime prevalence are based on a subject’s response to a single unvalidated question to screen for epilepsy. The Canadian Longitudinal Study of Aging (CLSA) is a nationwide population study of 50,000 people aged 45-85 years at baseline which presently also relies on a similar unvalidated question to identify persons with epilepsy.The purpose of this research is threefold: (a) to systematically review non-physician administered screening tools reported in the scientific literature designed to identify persons with epilepsy (PWE) in population-based coho...
