Battino (Felbamate) (Epilepsy), 2024 | prospective cohort | Reporting physicians collected information on drug therapy after each trimester. | Abnormalities in the offspring were recorded descriptively by reporting physicians. A committee blinded to type of exposure assessed and categorized these abnormalities.

No adjustment for this group of comparison. |
