Evidence Based Medicine
™
New paradigm in medical education and practice
™
Definition
The conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current
best evidence in making clinical decisions for the care of
individual patients
™
Providing more succinct, accurate, and usable information
about diagnostic and treatment options
™
Best evidence requires scientifically rigorous approach
¾
RCT, meta-analysis, systematic review, guidelines, etc
Definitions for classification of evidence
Rating of recommendation
A – Established as effective,
ineffective, or harmful for the
given condition in the specified
population
Translation of evidence
To recommendations
Level A rating requires
at least one convincing
class Ⅰ study or at least
two consistent,
convincing class Ⅱ
studies
Rating of therapeutic article
Class Ⅰ: Prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial with
masked outcome assessment, in a representative population
The following are required:
a) primary outcome(s) is/are clearly defined
b) exclusion/inclusion criteria are clearly defined
c) adequate accounting for dropdrop-outs and crosscross-overs with
numbers sufficiently low to have minimal potential for bias
bias
d) relevant baseline characteristics are presented and
substantially equivalent among treatment groups or there
is appropriate statistical adjustment for differences
B – Probably effective, ineffective, Level B rating requires
or harmful for the given
at least one convincing
condition in the specified
class Ⅱ study or at
population
least three consistent
class Ⅲ studies
Class Ⅱ: Prospective matched group cohort study in a
representative population with masked outcome assessment
that meets aa-d above or a RCT in a representative
population that lacks one criterion aa-d
C – Possibly effective, ineffective,
or harmful for the given
condition in the specified
population
Class Ⅲ : All other controlled trials (including wellwell-defined
natural history controls or patients serving as own controls)
controls) in
a representative population where outcome assessment is
independent of patient treatment
U – Data inadequate or conflicting
given current knowledge,
treatment is unproven
Level C rating requires
at least two convincing
and consistent class Ⅲ
studies
Class Ⅳ : Evidence from uncontrolled studies, case series,
case reports, or expert opinion

Limitations of
evidence-based AED guidelines
►
Guidelines provide only a list of AEDs having evidence of
effectiveness for use in general clinical situations
► Not applicable for choosing the best AED for the
individual patients
ƒ AEDs having no evidence don’t mean no or less efficacy in a
given clinical situation
ƒ Each guidelines may be different for given clinical
environment
(countries, continents, economical status, etc)
ƒ Guidelines are often out of dated

Description
Extremely appropriate;
this is the treatment of choice (may have more than one per question)
Usually appropriate;
an agent you would often use in this situation
Equivocal;
an agent you would sometime use, e.g, if the first choice(s) failed,
or was contraindicated
Usually inappropriate;
an agent you would rarely use, or use in special circumstances only
Extremely inappropriate;
a treatment that should not be used in this situation

Expert opinions : limitations
►
Limitations
ƒ The experts may be wrong.
- a group of experts agrees does not mean they are
correct.
ƒ Expert opinion can also change.
ƒ In other parts of the world, where other medicines
and therapies may be available, expert opinion may
differ ( individuals, clinical environments, regions,
etc).
ƒ Practices in a private setting may differ.
Seizure aggravation in idiopathic
generalized epilepsies by AEDS
►
►
►
►
The pathophysiology of seizure aggravation is poorly understood
non-specific effects such as those associated with sedation,
drug-induced encephalopathy,
paradoxical or inverse pharmacodynamic effects.
Drugs that modulate Na+-channels and GABAergic drugs
CBZ, OXC, VGB, GBP, PHT
- CAE, JAE
LTG, VGB, GBP, PHT
- JME, Severe myoclonic epilepsy
Ketogenic Diet
Most potent anti-epileptic treatment among nonsurgical modalities
™ Most difficult treatment for prolonged
maintenance
™ Benefits to prevent major cognitive side effects
of multiple medications commonly used in
intractable epilepsy
™ Many early and late complications

Summary
z
Valproate is the drug of choice in IGE such as GTC, CAE, JAE,
JME, and symptomatic myoclonic and GTC Szs, LGS,
- Pediatric / Adult
z
Lamotrigine is the another drug of choice in CAE, JME,
z
ESM is the another drug of choice in CAE.
z
Vigabatrin is the drug of choice in IS with TS, IS with
symptomatic etiology
z
z
ACTH or prednisolone is the another drug of choice in IS
Ketogenic diet may be a powerful tools for Intractable epilepsy
Goal of Treatment in Epilepsy
Recovery from Pathologic Neuro-psycho-social Condition
and
Maintenance of Normal Life
