The performance of three mortality risk-adjustment comorbidity indices in a community epilepsy cohort.

TL;DR: All three indices performed well, but there is evidence that the ES index may be more discriminating and have a better model fit than the Charlson or Elixhauser indices in a community‐based clinical cohort of people with epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individualised prediction of drug resistance and seizure recurrence after medication withdrawal in people with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: A systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis

TL;DR: This article performed an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis based on a systematic search in EMBASE and PubMed, including prospective and retrospective observational studies reporting on treatment outcomes of people diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and available seizure outcome data after a minimum one-year follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI

Symptomatology of carbamazepine- and oxcarbazepine-induced hyponatremia in people with epilepsy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adverse effects experienced by people taking carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine could be attributed to COIH, and adverse effects occurred in 65% of people with hyponatremia compared to 21% with normal sodium levels (odds ratio [OR] 7.5, P ≤.001).

SUPPLEMENT - MANAGEMENT OF A FIRST SEIZURE The socioeconomic, cultural, and emotional implications of starting or withholding treatment in a patient with a first seizure

TL;DR: The decision to treat or not treat individuals who have suffered a single epileptic seizure is based on clinical factors, which are considered within the in-dividuals social, cultural, and emotional environ-ment as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sudden unexpected death in patients with epilepsy : Definition, epidemiology and therapeutic implications

Y. Langan, +1 more
- 01 May 2000 - 
TL;DR: As there is evidence to suggest an association between seizures and sudden death, the judicious use of anticonvulsants in optimising seizure control may be important in the prevention of these deaths.
