abstract="An increased risk of premature death associated with epilepsy is well known. Recent reports have documented an even higher risk of premature mortality among people with epilepsy living in low- and middle-income countries (LAMICs).(1) The epidemiology of epilepsy-associated mortality in LAMICs is of great relevance, as more than 85% of those with epilepsy live in resource-limited countries.(2) Not only is the risk of premature mortality higher in LAMICs, but a greater proportion of deaths in these regions are epilepsy-related (e.g., falls, burns, drowning, and status epilepticus).(1.)<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
