Variable analysis
- Verbal baseline interview
- Primary care prescription data
- Drug users of valproate, lamotrigine, and levetiracetam
- Time period between 1978 to 2018
- Extraction of medication data from UKB primary care data
- Gathering of all available ever-approved formulations for valproate, lamotrigine, and levetiracetam using international nonproprietary (INN) names, former and current trade names in the UK, and their associated DM+D and British National Formulary (BNF) codes
- Prescription data and verbal interview data searched for these formulations
- Individuals considered as users of a drug if they reported intake of one of the formulation names containing the drug at any verbal interview or if they had two or more prescriptions of a formulation containing the drug in the primary care data
- Extraction of prescriptions for the most common antiepileptic drugs between first prescription of valproate and end of follow-up to assess whether patients were on monotherapy or had other antiepileptic drugs prescribed

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
