Abbreviations:

ASM = Antiseizure medication

Hx = History

Lacos = Lacosamide

Lamotr = Lamotrigine

Lev = Levetiracetam

Oxcarb = Oxcarbazepine

Phenob = Phenobarbital

SWS = Stturge-Weber syndrome

Bold face denotes a significant P value.

“Lev”- Levetiracetam; “Oxcarb”- Oxcarbazepine; “Phenob”- Phenobarbital; “Lamotr”- Lamotrigine; “Lacos”- Lacosamide; Hx-History. Clobazam was not included because there was only one subject using clobazam with a neuroscore.
