Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A one year prospective study was conducted (July 1990 to June 1991) on 104 Saudi epileptic patients (aged 15 to 45 years) to assess the degree of anti-epileptic drug (AED) compliance and factors that influence their compliance. One-third of the patients (30.8%) were non-compliant (NC), A logistic regression equation compared the data indicated. A low level of education and adverse effect of the disease on patients were the most important significant factors for poor compliance. Age, sex, marital status, family history, duration and type of seizure were not found to have a significant role in the patients' compliance to AED. |
