Prevalence of calcified NCC lesions (with or without other lesions) within the adult population |
20% for similar endemic communities in Peru–see [17] and S2 Data
|
1 |
Share of individuals with NCC that have a single lesion |
72.5% (95% CI: 66.6–78.4%) global average, see [17, 22, 28–32] † and Fig A in S1 Text
|
1 |
Share of individuals with NCC that have two lesions |
16.9% (95% CI: 11.7–22.0%) global average, see [17, 22, 29, 30] † and Table A in S1 Text
|
2 |
Added lifetime epilepsy prevalence associated with neurocysticercosis |
2.10% [1.05–3.69%], estimated using Latin America figures, see [2, 67] † & S1 Text
|
2 |
Share of never-treated calcified parenchymal NCC cases with NCC-driven epilepsy that have “long-term” active epilepsy |
66.2% [53.7–77.2%] for North-West Peru–see S2 Text and dataset in S1 Data
|
2 |
Share of never treated NCC cases with active epilepsy and solely parenchymal lesions that have at least one non-calcified lesion |
15.9% [10.3–23.1%] for North-West Peru–see S2 Text and dataset in S1 Data
|
3 |
Share of all NCC cases that have extra-parenchymal lesions in Peru (at community level) |
Likely between 0.3% and 5% based on field data from Peru (see S2 Text for details). To be improved through field studies. 3% selected for this specific calibration. |
3 |
Share of all clinical cases with ICH or hydrocephalus that have parenchymal lesions only |
8.6% [0.0–17.3%] [54, 68–71]†, global average |
