Tracking epilepsy and autism

Table 3 IQ level of autistic children with epilepsy

Age	Male (%)	Female (%)	Total (%)	Comparison male vs. female (p value)
< 20	4 (23.5)	2 (66.7)	6 (20)	p = 0.13
20–40	2 (11.7)	1 (33.3)	3 (15)	p = 0.33
40–60	4 (23.5)	0 (0)	4 (20)	p = 0.13
60–80	7 (41.2)	0 (0)	7 (35)	p = 0.17
80–100	0 (0.0)	0 (0)	0 (0)

There is no evidence to demonstrate any association between age and gender with respect to epilepsy in the population studied. In addition, the proportion is relatively high in the < 20 years, but there is no evidence to show any significant differences between gender. Fisher’s exact = 0.221
