Objective: We assessed the relationship between adherence to epilepsy quality measures (EQM) and seizure control over 2-3 years in a retrospective cohort study.
Methods: 6150 patients were identified at two large academic medical centers with a primary or secondary diagnosis of epilepsy, were 18-85 years old and seen in outpatient general neurology or epilepsy units between June 2011 and May 2014. Patients were included if: their initial visit was between June 2011 and June 2012, treatment was with ≥1 anti-seizure drug, there was ≥1 visit per year during the timeframe, and seizure frequency was documented at initial and final visits, yielding 162 patients/1055 visits from which socio-demographic, clinical and care quality data were abstracted.
Objective: This study aimed to determine if annual counseling about contraception and pregnancy in the setting of treatment for epilepsy is associated with increased recommending or prescribing of folate.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study with medical record abstraction. We selected records from 77 women of childbearing age who had two or more visits for epilepsy at a neurology clinic.
