Burden of disease of people with epilepsy during an optimized diagnostic trajectory: costs and quality of life

This study indicates that an optimized diagnostic trajectory has positively influenced the use of healthcare resources and the quality of life in people with epilepsy. As chronic care patients make diverse costs, future research should identify the long-term costs after an optimized diagnostic trajectory for patients with epilepsy, possibly identifying patients who are at high risk of becoming high-cost users in the future for early intervention.
