Worldwide, almost 1% of the population suffers from epilepsy and its annual incidence for all ages is approximately 50 – 55 cases per 100,000 inhabitants [1,2]. In Spain, its age- and sex-adjusted prevalence per 1,000 inhabitants is 14.87 [3]. Epidemiological studies mainly focus on patients with active epilepsy, defined as those who have had at least one seizure in the last 5 years [1]. The incidence of active epilepsy is around 5 – 7.5 per 1,000 inhabitants [1,3–5].
