Abbreviations: ANCOVA, analysis of covariance; CBZ, carbamazepine; LCM, lacosamide; LDL, low‐density lipoprotein; LS, least squares; SD, standard deviation; SE, standard error.

a

The 12‐mo lipid levels included lipid values collected at 364 d (plus a 30‐d window) of treatment during the Treatment period.

b

The ANCOVA model included treatment as a main effect and age, sex, body mass index, and Baseline lipid level as covariates.

c

Total cholesterol levels ≤200 mg/dL.

d

Total cholesterol levels >200 mg/dL.

e

LDL‐cholesterol levels ≤130 mg/dL.

f

LDL‐cholesterol levels >130 mg/dL. Within treatment group comparison 12‐mo vs Baseline; paired t test.
