Prevalence of Medically Resistant Epilepsy in Saudi Arabia
Conclusion: The prevalence of MRE in our population (30%) is close to that in other populations (30 –36.5%). Early identification of such patients is crucial to improve their management.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Epidemiology of Parkinson ’s Disease in Rural Gujarat, India
Conclusions: The present study showed the current epidemiological data of PD from Gujarat, in western India. Further studies across different regions in India need to be encouraged for better understanding of PD prevalence in the Indian population.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Rural Stroke Surveillance and Establishment of Acute Stroke Care Pathway Using Frontline Health Workers in Rural Northwest India: The Ludhiana Experience
Conclusion: ASHAs were able to identify stroke patients in the villages. Despite high numbers of patients reaching health-care facilities within a window period, the hospitals were unable to provide acute stroke treatment like thrombolysis. The health-care system needs to be strengthened to improve stroke care.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Renal Impairment and Risk of Acute Stroke: The INTERSTROKE Study
Conclusion: Renal impairment is an important risk factor for stroke, particularly in younger patients, and is associated with more severe stroke and worse outcomes.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

The Incidence of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in Ohio 2016 –2018: The Ohio Population-Based ALS Registry
Conclusion: The estimated Ohio incidence of ALS is overall similar to that reported in other states in the USA. This study reveals a geospatial variation in incidence within the state, and areas with higher rates warrant future investigation.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

High-Risk Periods for Adult Traumatic Brain Injuries: A Nationwide Population-Based Study
Conclusions: TBI-related hospital admissions and mortality were more common on public holidays, weekends, and in summer months in Finland. People who sustained TBIs on these days were on average younger and healthier. The occurrence of TBIs on public holidays and weekends is increasing at an alarming rate.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Cause of Death after Traumatic Brain Injury: A Population-Based Health Record Review Analysis Referenced for Nonhead Trauma
Conclusion: This population-based case-matched referent study showed that increased risk of death after TBI existed only during the first 6 months after injury, and the difference was due to external causes.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Risk Factors for Olfactory and Gustatory Dysfunctions in Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Conclusion: Our study indicates that current smoking and history of allergy (particularly respiratory) significantly increase the risk for smell loss in COVID-19 patients; the latter is also significantly associated to taste loss. Hospitalization has an inverse association with the risk of olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions, suggesting that these may be symptoms characteristics of less severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Increased Incidence of Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis in Germany
Conclusion: RA was significantly associated with stroke and TIA, with young patients being at a particularly increased risk. AS was tendentially associated with stroke and TIA.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Development of the Madrid Stroke Programme: Milestones and Changes in Stroke Trends and Mortality from 1997 to 2017
Conclusions: Our study illustrates how measures such as the development of stroke units, implementation of a regional stroke code and treatment with intravenous thrombolysis coincide in time with a reduction in in-hospital mortality due to stroke.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Morbidity, Mortality, and Conversion to Neurodegenerative Diseases in Patients with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and REM Sleep without Atonia
Conclusions: A diagnosis of RBD is associated with increased morbidity several years before and after a diagnosis is made. Patients have a higher risk of converting to a neurodegenerative disorder than matched controls. Mortality rates are unchanged.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

The Prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment among Chinese People: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: The prevalence of MCI in China was 15.4%, which varied by demographics, lifestyles, morbidity, screening tools, and diagnostic criteria. In further studies, screening tools and diagnosis criteria should be considered when estimating MCI prevalence.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)
