Electroconvulsive therapy and subsequent epilepsy in patients with affective disorders: A register-based Danish cohort study

Conclusion In patients with affective disorders, we found a weak positive association between ECT and subsequent diagnosis of epilepsy in those younger than 40 years, and a weak negative association in patients older than 60 years. The associations might be subject to residual confounding from risk factors related to ECT.
