Descrição: The Swedish national guidelines for epilepsy stipulate regular health care contacts in the years following diagnosis, referral for epilepsy surgery in cases of pharmacoresistant epilepsy, multidisciplinary teams, and adequate patient information particularly for women of childbearing age. The last years have seen advances in many research areas of relevance for the basic epilepsy care, and Sweden has contributed regarding pharmacotherapy, seizure-related risks, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), and digital tools. An increasing prevalence of epilepsy and stagnating or decreasing health care resources makes nationwide implementation of this knowledge challenging and increases the risk of unequal access to care. Innovation and focus on prioritized groups, such as newly diagnosed and persons with pharmacoresistant epilepsy or comorbidities, will be needed.
