Short-term Seizure Outcomes in Childhood Epilepsy
Seizure freedom is the optimal response to antiepileptic treatment.
In previous studies, it has been shown that between 61% and 71% of children with epilepsy
achieve seizure freedom, whereas 7% to 20% have drug-resistant epilepsy. The definition of

population-based data. We used data from a large nationwide child cohort to provide such
information, implementing the current standard definition of drug resistance.
