Methods EXPERIENCE/EPD332 was a pooled analysis of individual patient records from several non-interventional studies of patients with epilepsy initiating BRV in clinical practice. Outcomes included ≥ 50% reduction from baseline in seizure frequency, seizure freedom (no seizures within prior 3 months), continuous seizure freedom (no seizures since baseline), BRV discontinuation, and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) at 3, 6, and 12 months. Analyses were performed for all adult patients (≥ 16 years of age) and stratified by comorbidity and by etiology at baseline (patients with cognitive/learning disability [CLD], psychiatric comorbidity, post-stroke epilepsy, brain tumor−related epilepsy [BTRE], and traumatic brain injury−related epilepsy [TBIE]). Results At 12 months, ≥ 50% seizure reduction was achieved in 35.6% (n = 264), 38.7% (n = 310), 41.7% (n = 24), 34.1% (n = 41), and 50.0% (n = 28) of patients with CLD, psychiatric comorbidity, post-stroke epilepsy, BTRE, and TBIE, respectively; and continuous seizure freedom was achieved in 5.7% (n = 318), 13.7% (n = 424), 29.4% (n = 34), 11.4% (n = 44), and 13.8% (n = 29), respectively. During the study follow-up, in patients with CLD, psychiatric comorbidity, post-stroke epilepsy, BTRE, and TBIE, 37.1% (n = 403), 30.7% (n = 605), 33.3% (n = 51), 39.7% (n = 68), and 27.1% (n = 49) of patients discontinued BRV, respectively; and TEAEs since prior visit at 12 months were reported in 11.3% (n = 283), 10.0% (n = 410), 16.7% (n = 36), 12.5% (n = 48), and 3.0% (n = 33), respectively. Conclusions BRV as prescribed in the real world is effective and well tolerated among patients with CLD, psychiatric comorbidity, post-stroke epilepsy, BTRE, and TBIE. http://hdl.handle.net/11351/11545 Avaluació de resultats (Assistència sanitària) Epilèpsia - Tractament Anticonvulsius - Ús terapèutic ANALYTICAL, DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC TECHNIQUES, AND EQUIPMENT::Diagnosis::Prognosis::Treatment Outcome DISEASES::Nervous System Diseases::Central Nervous System Diseases::Brain Diseases::Epilepsy Other subheadings::Other subheadings::Other subheadings::/drug therapy CHEMICALS AND DRUGS::Chemical Actions and Uses::Pharmacologic Actions::Therapeutic Uses::Central Nervous System Agents::Anticonvulsants Other subheadings::Other subheadings::/therapeutic use TÉCNICAS Y EQUIPOS ANALÍTICOS, DIAGNÓSTICOS Y TERAPÉUTICOS::diagnóstico::pronóstico::resultado del tratamiento ENFERMEDADES::enfermedades del sistema nervioso::enfermedades del sistema nervioso central::enfermedades cerebrales::epilepsia Otros calificadores::Otros calificadores::Otros calificadores::/farmacoterapia COMPUESTOS QUÍMICOS Y DROGAS::acciones y usos químicos::acciones farmacológicas::usos terapéuticos::fármacos del sistema nervioso central::anticonvulsivantes Otros calificadores::Otros calificadores::/uso terapéutico Effectiveness and tolerability of brivaracetam in patients with epilepsy stratified by comorbidities and etiology in the real world: 12-month subgroup data from the international EXPERIENCE pooled analysis
