    Abstract Introduction: A prevalence of 1 to 71% of electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities has been reported in asymptomatic relatives of patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME).
    Objective: To determine the frequency of EEG abnormalities in asymptomatic relatives of patients with JME according to the degree of kinship.
    Methods: Prospective, analytical study. First-, second, and third-degree relatives of patients with JME who agreed to participate and signed informed consent were included. The analysis was descriptive, bivariate.
    Results: 209 asymptomatic relatives were included, out of which 115 (55%) were females and 94 (45%) were males, with a mean age of 35.9 ± 16.9 (range between 6 and 73 years). Forty-four (21.1%) relatives had abnormal EEGs. First-degree relatives (12%) had abnormalities more frequently in comparison with second- and third-degree relatives (p = 0.007).
    Conclusions: EEG abnormalities were observed in one third of asymptomatic relatives. It is important to highlight that there were more alterations among first-degree relatives. In the future, these findings might enable for the risk of clinically developing the disease to be estimated and for genetic counseling to be provided.

    Title translation E-health tools to overcome the gap in epilepsy care before, during and after COVID-19 pandemics.
    Abstract Introduction: Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder that affects around 50 million worldwide and there is an abundance of literature on the health care gap for this sector of the population. This gap will increase with the current pandemic due to COVID-19.
    Aim: To evaluate the current availability of digital health tools for the care of people with epilepsy according to the world medical literature and their use during said pandemic.
    Development: We reviewed the publications in scientific journals in the last decade that had as their main topic the use of digital health tools or telemedicine focused on the care of patients with epilepsy, including 4 months after the national quarantines due to the appearance of the virus SARS-CoV-2. Seventeen publications were found on the use of telemedicine focused on epilepsy. The most widely used tools internationally are online platforms, followed by mobile applications, videoconferences, epileptic seizure capture systems, checklists, algorithms for understanding medical data, phone calls, tele-encephalography and text messages. None was published during the COVID-19 current pandemic.
    Conclusions: Although there is little literature on the use of digital health tools focused on epilepsy, there are several that can be used to fight the attention gap, especially in this global pandemic by COVID-19 that forces quarantines of people and communities for long periods. It is necessary to remove barriers and facilitate patient access to these new information technologies.

    Abstract Background: In patients with epilepsy, regular follow-up is vital for adequate seizure control, antiseizure drugs' (ASDs) side effects, psychiatric comorbidities, and planning for epilepsy surgery. Non-attendance creates barriers to adequate patient care, inefficient allocation of resources, loss of income, and unnecessary emergency department visits due to lack of seizure control. This study aimed to determine the causes and sociodemographic characteristics of the non-attendant population at the Epilepsy Clinic.
    Methods: A prospective and observational study was carried out on patients treated at the Epilepsy Clinic of the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery (NINN) in Mexico from August 2015 to June 2016. A phone interview was made with all those patients who did not attend the epilepsy consultation. This call incorporated ad hoc questions to meet the objectives of this study.
    Results: During the study period, 1299 patients had an appointment at the epilepsy clinic, where 233 (17.9%) patients missed their consultation, 123 (52.8%) were male, mean age was 35.9 ± 14.42 years. The most frequent cause of non-attendance was forgetfulness of the appointment in 62 patients (26.6%). Two patients died; no patient was reported to have experienced SUDEP. Non-attendant patients showed statistically significant overall prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities (41.6%), particularly depression, anxiety, and interictal psychosis.
    Conclusion: Information on non-attendance at various specialist consultations is scarce, and to our knowledge, this is the first study to address non-attendance in patients with epilepsy in Latin America. Improving hospital protocols to reduce non-attendance can increase patient adherence to follow-up, ultimately improving the quality of care in the epilepsy clinic.

    Abstract Introducción: Se ha reportado de 1 a 71 % de prevalencia de anormalidades en el electroencefalograma (EEG) de familiares asintomáticos de pacientes con epilepsia mioclónica juvenil (EMJ). Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia de anormalidades en el EEG en familiares asintomáticos de pacientes con EMJ de acuerdo con el grado de parentesco. Métodos: Estudio prospectivo y analítico. Se incluyeron familiares de primer, segundo y tercer grado de pacientes con EMJ, quienes aceptaron participar y firmaron el consentimiento informado. El análisis fue descriptivo bivariado. Resultados: Se incluyeron 209 familiares asintomáticos, 115 (55 %) mujeres y 94 (45 %) hombres, con edad media de 35.9 ± 16.9 (rango entre seis y 73 años); 44 familiares (21.1 %) tuvieron EEG anormal. Los familiares de primer grado (12 %) cursaron con mayor frecuencia con anormalidades en comparación con los de segundo y tercer grado (p = 0.007). Conclusiones: Se observaron anormalidades en el EEG de una tercera parte de los familiares asintomáticos. Es importante resaltar que existieron más alteraciones entre los familiares de primer grado. En un futuro, estos hallazgos permitirán estimar el riesgo de desarrollar la enfermedad clínicamente y brindar consejo genético.

    Abstract Background and purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between motor complications and non-motor symptom (NMS) burden in a population of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and also in a subgroup of patients with early PD.
    Methods: Patients with PD from the COPPADIS cohort were included in this cross-sectional study. NMS burden was defined according to the Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) total score. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part IV was used to establish motor complication types and their severity. Patients with ≤5 years of symptoms from onset were included as patients with early PD.
    Results: Of 690 patients with PD (62.6 ± 8.9 years old, 60.1% males), 33.9% and 18.1% presented motor fluctuations and dyskinesia, respectively. The NMS total score was higher in patients with motor fluctuations (59.2 ± 43.1 vs. 38.3 ± 33.1; P < 0.0001) and dyskinesia (63.5 ± 40.7 vs. 41.4 ± 36.3; P < 0.0001). In a multiple linear regression model and after adjustment for age, sex, disease duration, Hoehn & Yahr stage, UPDRS-III score and levodopa equivalent daily dose, UPDRS-IV score was significantly related to a higher NMSS total score (β = 0.27; 95% confidence intervals, 2.81-5.61; P < 0.0001), as it was in a logistic regression model on dichotomous NMSS total score (≤40, mild or moderate vs. >40, severe or very severe) (odds ratio, 1.31; 95% confidence intervals, 1.17-1.47; P < 0.0001). In the subgroup of patients with early PD (n = 396; mean disease duration 2.7 ± 1.5 years), motor fluctuations were frequent (18.1%) and similar results were obtained.
    Conclusions: Motor complications were frequent and were associated with a greater NMS burden in patients with PD even during the first 5 years of disease duration.
