Antiepileptic Choice of Pediatric Neurologists: Istanbul Pediatric Neurology Study Group Survey

Burak TatlıBarış Ekici

Objective: To reveal antiepileptic drug preferences of the pediatric neurologist using questionnaire surveys. Methods: The survey included neonatal seizures and 10 different patients with specific epileptic conditions. Participants were asked for the first drug of choice and attitudes in the case of treatment failure. Results: In neonatal seizures, phenobarbital was the first choice of all participants. Valproate was the first choice of 100 % of the participants in myoclonic astatic epilepsy, of 85 % in photo-sensitive epilepsy, of 74 % in absence epilepsy, of 73 % in electrical status at slow sleep. For complex partial seizures, valproate, carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine were preferred equally. Conclusion: Results of the survey showed that drugs used for many years such as phenobarbital, valproic acid and carbamazepine are more preferred by pediatric neurologists.

Çocuk Nörologlarının Antiepileptik Tercihi: İstanbul Çocuk Nörolojisi Grubu Anket Çalışması

Burak TatlıBarış Ekici

Amaç: Çocuk nörologlarının ilaç tercihlerini anket çalışmasıyla ortaya koymak. Yöntemler: Anket yenidoğan nöbetleri ve 10 farklı epileptik durum işaret eden vaka sunumlarını içermekteydi. Katılımcılardan bu durumlardaki ilk ilaç tercihleri, tedavi başarısızlığı durumunda ilaç ekleme veya ilaç değiştirme yaklaşımları sorgulandı. Bulgular: Yenidoğan nöbetlerinde tüm katılımcılar ilk tercih olarak fenobarbitali seçmişlerdi. Valproik asit katılımcıların miyoklonik astatik epilepside % 100’ünün, foto sensitif epilepside % 85’inin, absans epilepside % 74’ünün, uykudaki elektriksel statusta % 73’ünün ilk tercih ettikleri ilaç olmuştu. Kompleks parsiyel nöbetlerde valproik asit, karbamazepin ve okskarbazepin eşit oranda tercih edilmişti. Sonuç: Anket sonuçları çocuk nörologlarının fenobarbital, valproik asit ve karbamazepin gibi uzun yıllardır kullanılan antiepileptikleri daha çok tercih ettiklerini gösteriyor.
