Patients with epilepsy are likely to have seizure-related injuries which may be severe but do not affect the patients' QoL. Seizure-related injuries most commonly occur at home and therefore simple precautions (supervised bathing, using microwave ovens instead of classical stoves, avoiding electric irons and electric heaters, and sleeping close to the floor to avoid falling) taken to reduce the incidence of seizure-related injuries will help reduce hospitalizations and will also be cost-effective.
