Epilepsy is a very common neurological disease whose exact pathology remains unknown. Numerous studies have observed that environmental changes can be important triggers for various illnesses. Incorporating a nationwide dataset, environmental factors were characterized as inducers for epilepsy using conventional methods and a recently-proposed algorithm of time series data mining. From iterative verification using these algorithms, epilepsy incidence increments were established in January and February of each year. Furthermore, epilepsy incidence was positively correlated with atmospheric pressure, and negatively correlated with ambient temperature. In summary, environmental factors might be important triggers for epilepsy, and the mined epidemiological properties are expected to be helpful for management of this disease. |
