Predictors and associated factors with adverse drug reaction in people with epilepsy.

Objectives: There is a need for early identification and intervention of Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) to alleviate the unacceptably growing burden, morbidity, and mortality associated with People With Epilepsy (PWE). This study is aimed at identifying associated factors and predictors of ADR among PWE.

Methods: It is an interviewer-administered questionnaire-based study consisting of 940 consenting participants aged 16 years and above attending epilepsy clinics for 5 years with diagnosis confirmed by International League against Epilepsy (ILAE) criteria and supported by Electroencephalography (EEG).
