Somatic comorbidity of epilepsy in the general population in Canada
Téllez-Zenteno JF, Matijevic S, Wiebe S.. Epilepsia, 2005-12-01
Topic: Brain imaging, connectivity and assessment
Multivariate analyses assessed the strength of association of comorbid conditions with epilepsy as compared with the general population. Results People with epilepsy had a statistically significant higher prevalence of most chronic conditions than the general population. The findings are consistent across two independent surveys, which show that people with epilepsy in the general population have a two- to five-fold risk of somatic comorbid conditions, as compared with people without epilepsy.

How this study scored 52/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multicenter collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 30 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 52 out of 100.
