افزایش خطر اختلالات تیک در کودکان مبتلا به صرع: مطالعه مبتنی بر جمعیت مورد شاهدی در سراسر تایوان

This nationwide population-based cohort study, for the first time, demonstrated that there is a significantly increased risk for tic disorders among children with epilepsy. We also found males, attention deficit disorder and the use of multiple AEDs to be independent risk factors of tic disorders. Closely evaluating possible tic disorders would be crucial for improving the outcome and life quality in children with epilepsy.
