Article Synopsis
  • * A study reviewed data from six pediatric epilepsy centers and found that 14% of 259 patients were treated with felbamate, showing a 62% effectiveness in reducing seizures.
  • * Felbamate was more effective than other common medications like levetiracetam (15%) and valproic acid (32%), and its efficacy was comparable to the ketogenic diet (69%), suggesting it should be considered as a key treatment option for EMAtS.

Section of Pediatric Surgery, Department of Surgery, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, Michigan Medicine, 1500 E. Hospital Dr, Ann Arbor, MI, 48109, USA.

Background: Surgical management for refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) has been restorative proctocolectomy (RP) with ileal-pouch-anal-anastomosis (IPAA) done as one to three stages, with safety and effectiveness of a single-stage operation unclear.

Methods: Pediatric UC patients from 2004 to 2019 who underwent RP/IPAA in the initial operation were retrospectively reviewed. 1-stage operations were matched 1:2 to 2-stage operations using age, duration of disease, and disease severity.

Yet, evidence on efficacy and functional outcomes with the "modified 2-stage" approach is limited in children.
