This study demonstrates that late onset seizures in people with Down syndrome are a strong indicator of a dementing process. Further. late onset seizures in people with Down syndrome may be used as a prognostic indicator, indicating life expectancy of less than a further 2 years, probable death within 3 years and death almost invariably within 5 years of onset.
