The challenges of assessing effectiveness of lacosamide using electronic medical record databases.

CONCLUSION: Lacosamide monotherapy effectiveness was not estimated because the EHR prescription record data did not have sufficient information on days supply. Additionally, most patients' records did not contain adequate information to allow for evaluation of quantitative changes in seizure frequency based on the number of seizures per month. More studies are needed to validate these study findings. PMID: 30032807 [PubMed - in process]
