“…There were no exclusion criteria for epidemiological studies in appropriately defined IIH as a comprehensive assessment of the quality of population‐based epidemiological studies in IIH was planned. The STROND criteria are a relatively new development in methodological assessment and, to our knowledge, have not yet been used as a template for measuring the quality of neuroepidemiological studies . Most of the IIH epidemiological studies in our review predated these criteria.…”

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is positively associated with obesity, mostly in young women. The global increase in obesity may influence the burden of IIH. Using the PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE and Web of Science databases, a meta-analysis and systematic review of epidemiological studies of IIH were performed up to June 2017. Temporal changes in IIH incidence were measured, and incidence rates of IIH were correlated with country-specific World Health Organization obesity rates. Prevalence data and shunting rates of IIH were recorded. The quality of epidemiological studies was assessed using the Standards of Reporting of Neurological Disorders (STROND) criteria. In 15 identified studies, there were 889 patients (87% women), mean age 29.8 years. The incidence of IIH ranged from 0.03 to 2.36 per 100 000 per year. The pooled incidence of IIH was 1.20 per 100 000 per year although there was very high heterogeneity (I 98%). The incidence rates of IIH were correlated with country-specific prevalence of obesity (Spearman's correlation 0.82, P < 0.01). The prevalence of IIH was rarely recorded. A shunting procedure was reported in 8% of patients. STROND criteria were variably reported, median of 26.5 of 43 (range 16-35). IIH is a public health concern as increased obesity prevalence is associated with increased incidence of IIH. A better quality of epidemiological studies is required to improve understanding of IIH and inform health policy for IIH management.

“…This is an ongoing population-based registry that was established in the 1980s to identify all cases of stroke occurring within the population of the city of Dijon, France (152,000 inhabitants) [2, 3]. It complies with the defined criteria for conducting “ideal” incidence stroke studies [9], and the guidelines for the reporting of incident and prevalent strokes in neuroepidemiology according to the Standards of Reporting of Neurological Disorders [10]. Case-collection as well as adjudication procedures have been described extensively elsewhere [2, 3, 11].…”

Increasing Burden of Stroke: The Dijon Stroke Registry (1987–2012)

Background: We aimed to provide a representation of the global burden of stroke. Methods: All cases of stroke were prospectively identified through the population-based registry of Dijon, France (1987–2012). Attack rates and mortality rates (defined as stroke leading to death within 30 days) were standardized to the European standard. Sex differences and temporal trends were evaluated by calculating rate ratios (RRs). Results: In all, 5,285 stroke cases (52.7% women) were recorded. The standardized attack rate was 98.2/100,000/year and the mortality rate was 12/100,000/year, and both were lower in women than in men (RR 0.67, p < 0.001, and RR 0.70, p < 0.001, respectively). Attack rates increased over time (RR 1.016; 95% CI 1.013–1.020) irrespective of the stroke subtype. In contrast, mortality rates declined (RR 0.985; 95% CI 0.976–0.995) with decreasing rates for ischemic stroke but no change for intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. The sex gap in both attack and mortality rates remained stable. Between the first (1987–1991) and the last (2007–2012) study periods, the annual number of stroke patients who survived beyond 30 days rose by 55%, Conclusions: Increasing attack rates and decreasing mortality have led to a rise in the number of stroke survivors in the population, thus indicating a growing need for the implementation of dedicated services.

SUMMARY Objective Using a large-scale population-based study, we aimed to assess prevalence and patterns of presentation of neurocysticercosis (NCC) and its relationship with epilepsy in community-dwellers aged ≥20 years living in Atahualpa (rural Ecuador). Methods In a three-phase epidemiological study, individuals with suspected seizures were identified during a door-to-door survey and an interview (Phase I). Then, neurologists evaluated suspected cases and randomly selected negative persons to estimate epilepsy prevalence (Phase II). In Phase III, all participants were offered non-contrast CT for identifying NCC cases. The independent association between NCC (exposure) and epilepsy (outcome) was assessed by the use of multivariate logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, level of education and alcohol intake. CT findings were subsequently compared to archived brain MRIs in a sizable subgroup of participants. Results Of 1,604 villagers aged ≥20 years, 1,462 (91%) were enrolled. Forty-one persons with epilepsy (PWE) were identified, for a crude prevalence of epilepsy of 28 per 1,000 population (95% C.I.: 20.7 – 38.2). A head CT was performed in 1,228 (84%) out of 1,462 participants, including 39 of 41 PWE. CT showed lesions consistent with calcified parenchymal brain cysticerci in 118 (9.6%) cases (95% C.I.: 8.1% – 11.4%). No patient had other forms of NCC. Nine of 39 PWE, as opposed to 109 of 1,189 participants without epilepsy, had NCC (23.1% versus 9.2%, p=0.004). This difference persisted in the adjusted logistic regression model (OR: 3.04; 95% C.I.: 1.35 – 6.81; p=0.007). Significance This large CT-based study demonstrates that PWE had three times the odds of having NCC than those without epilepsy, providing robust epidemiological evidence favoring the relationship between NCC and epilepsy.
