Abstract
Four-year follow-up of children with epilepsy included in a randomized trial of early withdrawal of antiepileptic drugs showed that 51% achieved a terminal remission of at least 2 years without medication and 21% with medication; 15% had seizures during the fourth year. Early medication withdrawal is not recommended as standard practice in children with a rapid response to medication. The authors developed a model to predict outcome if withdrawal is considered.
