title: Hospitalization rates for epilepsy in the United States, 1973-1976.
abstract: Data on numbers of admissions and admission rates for all-listed and first-listed epilepsy in nonfederal short-stay hospitals are presented. These statistics are based on 232,000 hospital discharge records from a probability sample of approximately 7,000 hospitals. The patterns of admission rates for epilepsy are compared with the prevalence of epilepsy and trends of admission rates for all conditions.
