[Query: Anything that is not "evidence-based" should be excluded, should it not? Awadewit | talk 04:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)]
Books
Journals
- Epilepsy Currents is the journal of the AES. Freely available online to all readers.
Web sites
- Atlas: Epilepsy Care in the World. World Health Organisation. September 2005. ISBN 9241563036. (Available in chapter downloads from WHO's Global Epilepsy Campaign Website).
- Probably the most useful resource for international facts and figures. The campaign website also contains reports from around the world, though it doesn't seem to have moved on since 2005.
- WHO Epilepsy Factsheets. World Health Organisation. February 2001.
- Has a few interesting resources. The History and the Social Consequences factsheets look promising but basic.
- Has a large number of articles, literature reviews and other information pages for the professional. Some are reprints of work published in journals; others seem to be written for NSE.
- The authority on classification and terminology. Useful glossary and extensive information on seizure types and syndromes.
- Loads of clinical overviews of various topics. Not as highly regarded as established peer-reviewed print journals.
Clinical guildelines
- NICE Clinical Guideline 20: Epilepsy. National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. October 2004.
- Comprises a number of PDF documents that contain a wealth of UK-focused data and guidelines built on evidence-based-medicine.
- SIGN Guideline 81: Diagnosis and management of epilepsies in children and young people. Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. March 2005.
- These Scottish guidelines, like the NICE equivalent for England & Wales, are thoroughly reviewed and evidence-based.
- SIGN Guideline 70: Diagnosis and management of epilepsy in adults. Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. October 2005. (Also available as HTML here.)
- A substantial number of guidelines with an American flavour. Often jointly supported by the American Epilepsy Society.
