Association of maternal epilepsy with perinatal outcomes, and an exploration of prenatal antiseizure medication: A population‐based retrospective cohort study
Maternal epilepsy is associated with many adverse perinatal outcomes, but most are driven by prenatal ASM exposure. We postulate that joint comprehensive care between obstetricians and epileptologists or other specialists who prescribe ASMs could improve perinatal outcomes. Research into models of care and prescribers and the effect on outcomes is needed.
