A quality of care assessment for women of childbearing potential with epilepsy in Bhutan: An observational study

CONCLUSIONS: Based on data about WWE participants' ASM, supplement, and substance use, our study identified the high use of first generation ASMs (including valproate), frequently in polytherapy, and betel nut use as treatment gaps in women of childbearing potential age with active epilepsy in Bhutan. To address these gaps for locations such as Bhutan, we propose modifications to the QUIET tool's "Chronic Epilepsy Care for Women" section.PMID:38704988 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2024.109819
