Influence of weather on seizure frequency — Clinical experience in the emergency room of a tertiary hospital

ConclusionsOur results support the possible influence of the weather on seizure frequency in the overall admissions of the emergency department of a tertiary hospital. In particular, these findings suggest that winter conditions, such as, lower ambient temperatures, higher atmospheric pressure, higher humidity, and reduced sunlight exposure, may have impact in the occurrence of higher incidence of seizures in patients with epilepsy.
