Liverpool Adverse Events Profile: Italian validation and predictive value for dropout from antiepileptic treatment in people with epilepsy.

CONCLUSIONS: The iLAEP represents a reliable, quick, and inexpensive assessment tool for patient-reported AEs of AEDs. An iLAEP cutoff of 36.5 differentiates patients unlikely to interrupt treatment from those more prone to stop AEDs in the following 3months. The iLAEP might help clinicians in weighting the risk of dropout and better tailor treatment to patients.
