- Forecasting the prevalence of epilepsy in low- and middle-income countries to 2050 using a hybrid deep neural network-transformer modeling framework: insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023
- “A hybrid DNN-Transformer framework integrating Poisson regression and ARIMA models was developed to forecast epilepsy prevalence in LMICs through 2050, projecting 72.04 million cases with secondary epilepsy rising over 7-fold faster than idiopathic forms, providing solutions to address healthcare planning challenges in resource-limited settings.”
