Epilepsy in the South Australian Lunatic Asylums (c.1850-1914)

The South Australian Epilepsy Data was compiled from information available at the State Records of South Australia (https://www.archives.sa.gov.au/). Archives relating to the South Australian lunatic asylums (c.1850-1914) were searched, and any that mentioned the words 'epilepsy' or 'epileptic' were photographed and most of the data extracted into an Excel spreadsheet. <br>There are 634 cases in the spreadsheet, and around 565 unique patients (due to multiple admissions). The patient names are de-identified. Given names are provided in full, but surnames only include the first letter. <br>The data was used as part of a Masters of Philosophy, in the Discipline of History. Further information about the project, or any records in the spreadsheet can be obtained by contacting the author.

南澳癫痫数据集（South Australian Epilepsy Data）汇编自南澳大利亚州档案馆（https://www.archives.sa.gov.au/）公开的相关资料。研究人员检索了约1850年至1914年间南澳大利亚州精神病院的档案，对所有提及“癫痫（epilepsy）”或“癫痫患者（epileptic）”的档案进行拍摄，并将其中绝大多数数据提取至Excel电子表格中。该电子表格中共收录634条病例记录，涉及约565名独特患者（因存在多次入院情况）。患者姓名已完成去标识化处理：患者的名保留全称，而姓氏仅保留首字母。本数据集曾作为历史学学科哲学硕士学位研究的一部分。如需了解该研究项目或电子表格中相关记录的更多详情，可联系数据集作者获取。
