摘要: SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS 1. Population statistics have been presented for recurrent convulsive disorders in the residents of Rochester, Minnesota, U.S.A. 10 years, 1945–1954, inclusive. The records Mayo Clinic were source case reports. Although it is believed that large majority, if not all, local with diagnosed disorder included survey, computed rates must still be considered as minimal values. 2. cases classified by symptomatic type follows: grand mal, petit focal seizures including temporal lobe and psychomotor, miscellaneous seizures. Febrile convulsions are dealt separately. 3. A number statistical considerations affecting collection analysis comparative population data reviewed. 4. During years 336 patients observed physicians Of these 194 clinically acceptable form basis appropriate incidence prevalence rates. Among other 41 “suspect” only, 101 febrile convulsions. 5. For disorders, defined, average annual rate age-adjusted to U. S. about 31 per 100,000 year. If can applied population, 52,000 persons newly affected each year. 6. higher males than females all types combined most individual categories. 7. primary mal highest infancy early childhood decreases rapidly after adolescence; same noted cases. secondary seizure groups show their at extremes age scale. Abnormalities relating birth development presumably responsible high whereas toxic (alcoholic) vascular disease brain tumor important precipitating factors older group. 8. epilepsy United States 376 population. total 640,000 individuals subject disorders. 9. females. In contrast age-specific rates, does rise sharply and, fact, decreased old age. This due part poor survival experience infants which associated congenital defects or injury, adults cerebral diseases tumor. 10. resident somewhat small yield stable subgroups age, sex described this report, survey provide a more accurate picture frequency specific community heretofore available. RESUME ET La recurrence des troubles convulsifs eteetudiee l'appui de statistiques la pour les habitants Rochester dans l'Eetat Minnesota aux Etats-Unis durant annees 1945 1954, inclus. documentation relative auxcas etudies ete puisee fiches Clinic. Bien que l'on croie grande majorite, sinon totalite cette localite chez lesquels ont diagnostiques, repris etude, chiffres obtenus doivent cependant encore etre consideres comme minima. 2. Les cas classes par symptomatique categories suivantes: haut focales, y compris l'epilepsie du et Pepilepsie psychomotrice, enfin diverses. febriles traitees part. 3. Diverses affectant le rassemblement l'analyse donnees comparatives concernant passees en revue. 4. Pendant question, pris observation medecins convulsifs. Parmi ces malades, 196 reconnus cliniquement acceptables ce sont derniers qui servi base calculs coefficients d'apparition frequence generate malades restants, furent simplement “suspects” ranges categorie febriles. 5. En concerne recurrents, tels qu'ils definis, coefficient moyen rapportea l'âge s'eleve environ 100.000 an. Sil'on applique chiffre totale Etats-Unis, cela voudrait dire qu'environ 52.000 nouveaux se produisent chaque annee. 6. plus eleves sujets sexe mâle ceux feminin l'ensemble tous ainsi plupart diverses Le generalise d'emblee est pluseleve nourrissons jeunes enfants il diminue rapidement apres l'adolescence; meme mal. attaques secondaire focales l'echelle d'âge. Ton constates probablement dus phenomenes anormaux lors naissance ou developpement au cours premier âge, tandis affections vasculaires d'origine toxique (alcoolique) tumeurs cerveau considerer facteurs precipitants importants d'âges superieures. 8. generale d'epilepsie, rapporte s'est eleve habitants. Si peut appliquea 640.000 individus recurrents. 9. feminin. Contrairement specifique d'apresl'âge, ne presente pas d'augmentation marquee d'âge fait âges. Ceci une faible taux survivance atteints rapport avec malformations congenitales traumatismes naissance; adultes d'un certain âge d'affections cerveau. 10. question soit relativement assez importante puisse deduire stables sous-groupes decrits rapport, l'auteur pense etude donne un tableau exact d'unecommunaute speciflque, renseignements dont on disposait jusqu'a present.
