Comparing long-term outcomes of epilepsy patients from a single-visit outreach clinic with a conventional epilepsy clinic: A cross-sectional observational study from India

Of the 60 million persons with epilepsy (PWE) worldwide, 80% live in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Epilepsy care in LMICs including India, is poorly organised, inaccessible to the majority and leaves millions untreated [1]. There are no systems to systematically audit quality or outcomes of epilepsy care that is being provided. Health care facilities and doctors caring for PWE are overwhelmed by patient loads. There is a paucity of resources, including time, that are needed to periodically review quality of care.
