Responder rate was defined as percentage of patients with a ≥50% reduction in seizure frequency from baseline. Percentages of responders and 95% CIs are based on the number of patients with post-baseline seizure data.
EFF = efficacy; ESL = eslicarbazepine acetate; SSF = standardized seizure frequency (seizure frequency is standardized to a 28-day frequency); SD = standard deviation; CI = confidence interval; AED = antiepileptic drug.
