Abstract

Pregnant patients with epilepsy are at particularly high risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, likely in large part due to suboptimal medication prescribing. In our health system a recent tragic case of a double maternal / neonatal death in a woman with epilepsy triggered a quality improvement analysis of our practice in this regard. We analysed the care received by this patient cohort in a large obstetric hospital with over 10,000 pregnancies per annum.
