The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) updated the classifications of seizures and epilepsies in 2017. We compared the 2017 classifications with the 1980’s classifications in rural China. People with epilepsy were recruited from rural areas in China receiving treatment under the National Epilepsy Control Programme. Their seizures and epileptic syndrome were classified using the 1980’s ILAE classification system and then re-classified according the 2017 system. Differences in seizure, epilepsy and aetiology classifications were identified. A total of 597 individuals (58% males, aged 6–78 years) were included. Among them 535 (90%) had a single seizure type, 57 (9.55%) had two types, and five (0.84%) had three. There was complete agreement between the 1981 and 2017 classifications for the 525 individuals with focal seizures. Seizures originally classified as generalised in 10 of 65 individuals were re-classified as unknown in the 2017 classifications. Compared to the 1980’s classifications, the proportion of individuals with unknown seizures and unknown epilepsy increased from 1.2% (7/597) to 2.8% (17/597, p=0.002), and unknown aetiology increased from 32% (189/597: 182 cryptogenic and seven unclassified) to 39% (230/597; p<0.001) in the 2017 classifications. The 1980’s and 2017 classifications had 100% agreement in classifying focal seizures and epilepsy in rural China. A small but significant proportion of generalised seizures and epilepsy and aetiologies classified in the old classifications were re-classified to unknown in the new classifications. These results highlight the need for improvement in clinical evaluation of people with epilepsy in resource-poor settings.
