In their paper on utilization of school health resources for common pediatric disorders, Brink and Nader1 provide data about seizures in the Galveston Independent School District over a five-year period. From their figures 1 and 2, it appears that only one child experienced a seizure (.004 proportion due to seizures multiplied by 328 provider-initiated episodes yields 1.312, or one seizure). As their focus is upon overall care, the authors emphasize asthma maintenance and treatment, probably because of its frequency being higher than that of seizures in this population.
