The effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) on bone mineral density (BMD) are well addressed,
but data on children, especially concerning new antiepileptic medications, are scarce. This …

Antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy is associated with decreased bone mineral density;
however, the time course for this development is unclear. The aim of this study was to …

Patients with epilepsy and treated with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) may develop metabolic
bone disease; however, the exact pathogenesis of bone loss with AEDs is still unclear …

Objective The aim of this work is to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) in children with
idiopathic epilepsy under anti-epileptic drugs and to determine the effect of the type and the …

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is a non-invasive, rapid, accurate and highly
reproducible method for the assessment of antiepileptic drug (AED)-induced osteopenia in …

Bone mineral content (BMC) or density (BMD) may be decreased in children with epilepsy
either as a consequence of the epilepsy, the condition that caused the epilepsy or the …

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Antiepileptic drugs are associated with bone loss and fractures.
Data in children is scarce and the impact of new therapies and of low vitamin D is not clear …

Objective To explore the effect of new antiseizure medication on bone metabolism and bone
mineral density in children. Methods The Chinese and English databases (PubMed …

Background Long-term antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy is a known risk factor for bone loss
and fractures. Vitamin D deficiency is frequently cited as a cause for bone loss in patients …

In order to assess the bone changes in the subjects receiving anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs),
