The rising incidences of road traffic injuries and birth-related injuries contribute substantially to the prevalence of epilepsy in North America. The Epilepsy Foundation of America reported that, in 2018, approximately 1.3 to 2.8 million people in the US were diagnosed with epilepsy. The increasing recognition of epilepsy cases can be attributed to advancements in scientific fields, such as genetics and molecular biology, and the utilization of biomarkers for disease identification. The commitment of policymakers to adopt precision medicine also plays a pivotal role in acknowledging and addressing epilepsy cases.
A Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report from the CDC highlighted that there are more people living with epilepsy in the US than ever before. Collaborative efforts between organizations like the Epilepsy Foundation and the CDC are dedicated to helping individuals overcome the challenges associated with epilepsy. The financial burden of epilepsy-related expenses in the US alone was reported to be around USD 15.5 billion in 2016, according to the RSC Diagnostic Report. The increasing prevalence of epilepsy in the US contributes to the rising costs of treatment, further propelling the market in the region.
The situation in Latin America, particularly in Brazil, sheds light on the broader landscape of epilepsy prevalence. According to a 2016 report from the World Health Organization, the prevalence rate of epilepsy in Brazil was recorded at 7.8 per 1000 inhabitants, with an overall prevalence rate of active epilepsy at 5.6 per 1000 inhabitants. The findings indicate a crucial association between improved health conditions and education levels, influencing the lower prevalence of epilepsy in Brazil.
In conclusion, the epilepsy market in the Americas, particularly in North America, is witnessing substantial growth driven by the increasing prevalence of epilepsy disorders. The concerted efforts of organizations, advancements in medical research, and the commitment of policymakers to precision medicine are instrumental in recognizing and addressing epilepsy cases. The financial implications of epilepsy-related expenses underscore the significance of ongoing research, medical innovation, and collaborative initiatives to enhance the overall management and understanding of epilepsy in the Americas.
