Abstract

The data collected in the Australian Register of antiepileptic drugs in pregnancy have been studied in the hope of defining simple items of information that could be recorded at initial interview of pregnant women with epilepsy, and which might allow estimation of the risk of the pregnancy resulting in a malformed foetus. Analysis of the data showed that dose of valproate, but not intake of other commonly used antiepileptic drugs, in the current pregnancy, and a past history of a pregnancy involving a malformed foetus, statistically significantly increased the malformation hazard in the current pregnancy, and that continuing alcohol intake might decrease it. Plotting the hazard against valproate dose in monotherapy, with or without histories of (i) previous pregnancies with foetal malformations (FMs), and (ii) continuing alcohol intake, provided quantitative information concerning the degree of increased risk. It is hoped that this information may help in advising about the risk of foetal malformation (FM) in individual pregnancies.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 August 2014.
All research outputs
#15,983,535
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Epilepsy
#998
of 2,046 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#131,165
of 241,811 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Epilepsy
#3
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,046 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 241,811 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 7 of them.
