Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how different antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) affect bone health in ambulatory children with epilepsy, focusing on various biochemical markers and bone density.
- 120 children aged 2-15 were divided into three groups based on their AED treatment: enzyme-inducing drugs (like carbamazepine), valproic acid (a non-enzyme-inducing drug), and a control group not on any treatment.
- Results showed that while vitamin D deficiency was common, both enzyme-inducing and non-enzyme-inducing AEDs were linked to lower bone mineral density, with valproic acid showing fewer negative effects compared to the other AEDs.
