Antiepileptic Drug Use

Modular program-based one-time assessment of the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), including acetazolamide, carbamazepine, clobazam, clonazepam, diazepam, ethosuxamide, ezogabine, felbamate, gabapentin, lacosamide, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, lorazepam, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, pregabalin, primidone, rufinamide, tiagabine, topiramate, valproic acid, vigabatrin, and zonisamide.   Incident use was determined 1) with respect to an AED of interest, rather than all AEDs, and 2) with respect to all AEDs, rather than a specific AED of interest. Modular programs are adaptable standardized programs. Results were generated using Modular Program 2, version 3.1; click here for more information. Programs were executed in April 2011.
