Prevalence, Incidence, and Risk Factors of Epilepsy in Arab Countries: A systematic review

The Arab world consists of 22 countries, geographically located over two continents: Asia and Africa. It traverses an estimated total area of 13,132,327 km2, with a total of 423 million inhabitants across all countries. [1] People in the Arab world share a common language, with very similar cultures and traditions. Throughout the past few decades, the world has witnessed a slow yet steady development of the Arab world in different fields and especially in the medical field. This is evident by the increase in medical research productivity [2] and the improvement in health indicators, with an increase in life expectancy and a reduction in maternal and infant mortality.
