Objective: Non adherence to antiseizure medications (ASM) is a common and modifiable risk factor for poor control of epilepsy and contributes to increased hospitalizations, bias in assessing the effectiveness of therapy and inaccurate clinical decision making.The aim of the study was to estimate proportion of nonadherence to antiseizure medications among children with epilepsy and to identify clinical and demographic factors that contribute to antiseizure medication non adherence.
Methods: Consecutive subjects ≤ 18 years with epilepsy, on antiseizure medications for atleast three months, attending Pediatric Neurology OPD, Government Medical College Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India were included in the study.
Background: We aimed to find the proportion of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among children with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) and to describe their electroclinical features.
Methods: Video electroencephalography (EEG) was performed on 47 children who fulfilled International League Against Epilepsy criteria for CAE. These children were also assessed for the presence of ADHD.
