Table 3.
Odds of seizure-freedom 6 months after index date, after controlling for covariates, among various subgroups relative to seizure status at index date (seizure-free or not seizure-free), whether or not AED was switched (case vs. control), and number of AEDs failed.
Comparison | Odds Ratio | 95% CI | p-value |
---|---|---|---|
All subjects, seizure-free vs. non-seizure-free at index date | 3.34 | 0.54 – 22.90 | 0.202 |
Non-seizure-free patients, controls vs. cases | 1.66 | 0.36 – 8.42 | 0.523 |
Non-seizure-free patients, per previous AED failure | 0.61 | 0.37 – 0.91 | 0.032 |
Seizure-free patients, controls vs. cases | 6.53 | 1.02 – 61.19 | 0.060 |
Seizure-free patients, per previous AED failure | 0.85 | 0.57 – 1.39 | 0.469 |
