People at risk of death

"People with epilepsy are at an increased risk of death. This increase is between 1.6 and 4.1-fold greater than that of the general population."

Every person ever born are "at risk of death", in fact it's our only cast iron guarantee. It would be good to rephrase these sentences more sensibly. Why no talk page contents list? Anna (talk) 21:38, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Anna! I have made some updates to the section to make it more sensitive while retaining the necessary information. I plan to continue working on this section as I believe there are more aspects that need reorganization and updating. I will be looking into newer articles and sources to ensure the information is as current and comprehensive as possible, especially regarding SUDEP. Pwoli (talk) 01:28, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Introducing User:Johnbod at ILAE

User:Johnbod at ILAE is an alternative account for User:Johnbod. I will be using this account for edits connected with epilepsy, as I will be working over roughly the next year with the Wikipedia:ILAE Wikipedia Project, which has been running since 2020, aiming to improve the coverage of epilepsy-related articles on Wikipedia and is overseen by the International League Against Epilepsy.

I will be working together with ILAE medical specialists to improve the articles. Please let me know any questions. Johnbod at ILAE (talk) 02:03, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
