Computation of antiepileptic drug retention rates in the presence of a competing risk

Computation of antiepileptic drug retention rates in the presence of a competing risk, A thorough study has been carried out by Larsson et al. [1] based on nation-wide registers, which provides valuable information on the long-term retention rates of the most often prescribed antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in post-stroke epilepsy. Computation of the retention rates was estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) methodology., A thorough study has been carried out by Larsson et al. [1] based on nation-wide registers, which provides valuable information on the long-term retention rates of the most often prescribed antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in post-stroke epilepsy. Computation of the retention rates was estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) methodology. The authors excluded a priori patients who died during the first two months after stroke, while patients who died during the study period (>2 months post-stroke) were censored [1]., admin,
