Compliance in epileptic children in Japan.
1988
: We investigated compliance in 133 epileptic patients with an onset before 15 years. Compliance was determined according to prescription rate. Those with a prescription rate over 95% were regarded as compliant and those with a rate below 95% as non-compliant. One-hundred patients (75.2%) were compliant. Good compliance was related to early onset of epilepsy, high seizure frequency, short duration of seizure-free period and self-reported complete intake of medicine. Duration of epilepsy, seizure/drug calendar recording, number of drugs and plasma level of antiepileptic drugs were not associated with compliance.
