Fact check:  was ist falsch zu Epilepsie? (War das nicht neuro?) einmaliger Anfall nach akutem Ereignis, zB 2 Tage nach Schlaganfall, spricht für Entwicklung einer Epilepsie  15% der Menschen einmal epileptischen Anfall im Leben  eine Epilepsie im Kindesalter heilt zu 85% aus

1. Summary of the results

1. Summary of the results:

• The claim about 15% of people having a seizure in their lifetime is incorrect - studies show it's between 8-10% of the population
• The statement about childhood epilepsy healing in 85% of cases is partially supported by one study showing 90% seizure-free rates after 50 years, though this varies significantly based on individual factors
• The risk of developing epilepsy after an acute event like stroke is indeed higher, but not automatic - it's approximately double the risk compared to seizures with unknown causes

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints:

• The original statement omits crucial information about treatment outcomes: about 2/3 of patients become seizure-free with medication, while 30% of newly diagnosed patients won't achieve seizure freedom despite medication
• Long-term prognosis varies significantly based on specific factors not mentioned in the original statement:

Presence of intellectual/neurologic impairment

Type of epilepsy (generalized vs focal)

Age of seizure onset

Duration of epilepsy

• The statement fails to mention that epilepsy affects about 1% of the population, with highest incidence rates in the youngest and oldest age groups

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement:

• The 15% lifetime seizure risk is overstated by nearly double the actual rate (8-10%)
• The statement about childhood epilepsy healing presents an oversimplified view of a complex condition - while outcomes are often positive, they vary significantly based on individual factors
• The claim about post-stroke seizures suggesting epilepsy development lacks important nuance about risk factors and probability rates
