Poisson regression model showing the incident rate risk of individuals with neurocysticercosis to develop adult-onset epilepsy when compared with those without neurocysticercosis, after adjusting for demographics, levels of education, and severity of alcohol intake

Incident epilepsy	IRR	95% CI	P value
Neurocysticercosis	6.01	2.16–16.7	0.001*
Age	0.99	0.96–1.03	0.865
Female sex	1.21	0.39–3.79	0.741
Primary school education	0.49	0.14–1.75	0.274
Mod-severe alcohol intake	0.32	0.04–2.87	0.309
