Identifying adverse outcomes and examining trends and causes of nonelective admissions among persons with epilepsy would be beneficial to optimize patient care and reduce health services utilization. We examined the association of epilepsy with discharge status, in‐hospital mortality, length‐of‐stay, and charges. We also examined 10‐year trends and causes of hospital admissions among those with and without epilepsy.
