INTRODUCTION: Very few studies describe the demographic and social profile of @entity302 in vulnerable low-income populations. METHODS: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study prospectively recording data from all @entity1 diagnosed with @entity302 who attended a specialist neurology consultation between January and March 2014. Data were analysed using descriptive epidemiology tools. RESULTS: A total of 107 @entity1 were evaluated, of whom 24.2% were illiterate and only 10.2% had completed a higher education programme. Most of the @entity1 (86.8%) had a low socioeconomic status; 73.8% were single and 76.7% were employed. The main risk factors for @entity302 in this population were recorded as follows: delayed psychomotor development (n=24, 22.4%), @entity542 (n=16, 14.9%), and @entity4767 (n=13, 12.1%). Most @entity1 (70.1%) responded to antiepileptic drugs (controlled cases) and 15.4% (n=15) had @entity302 (refractory cases). CONCLUSION: The demographic and clinical profiles of the @entity1 included in this study resemble those published for high-income populations; differences are mostly limited to aetiological classification and risk factors. The social profile of the @entity1 evaluated in this study shows high rates of unemployment, illiteracy, and single marital status. These findings seem to be more frequent and prevalent in this group than in high income populations.
