New Epilepsy Findings from University of New South Wales Outlined (Factors Associated With Acute Care Service Use After Epilepsy Hospitalisation In People With Intellectual Disability).

A recent study conducted by the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, focused on factors associated with acute care service use after epilepsy hospitalization in individuals with intellectual disabilities. The research identified various demographic, socio-economic, and health status variables that influenced unplanned readmission and emergency department presentation within 30 or 365 days post-hospitalization. The findings underscore the importance of tailored interventions to improve continuity of care and highlight the need for person-centered multidisciplinary care across different health sectors for this population.
