Outcome of seizures in the general population after 25 years: a prospective follow-up, observational cohort study

Suicidal ideation in epilepsy and levetiracetam therapy.

Allergic skin rash with lamotrigine and concomitant valproate therapy: Evidence for an increased risk

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed whether the risk of cutaneous rash was increased in patients receiving concomitant valproate therapy in a population of 103 adult patients with intractable epilepsy, who had lamotrigine added to their treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The long term retention of levetiracetam in a large cohort of patients with epilepsy

TL;DR: Patients attending a tertiary referral centre for epilepsy and who received Lev in the first 2 years of its marketing were assessed to determine continuation rates of treatment with this drug, and the retention rate for Lev compares favourably with that of other new AEDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
