Bibliography

[Query: Anything that is not "evidence-based" should be excluded, should it not? Awadewit | talk 04:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)]

Journals

• Epilepsy Currents. American Epilepsy Society.

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.

• E-epilepsy The National Society for Epilepsy.

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.

• ILAE Task Force on Classification and Terminology. International League Against Epilepsy.

The authority on classification and terminology. Useful glossary and extensive information on seizure types and syndromes.

• eMedicine Neurology - Seizures and Epilepsy. eMedicine.

Loads of clinical overviews of various topics. Not as highly regarded as established peer-reviewed print journals.

Clinical guildelines

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.

• AAN Practice Guidelines: Epilepsy. American Academy of Neurology.

A substantial number of guidelines with an American flavour. Often jointly supported by the American Epilepsy Society.
