The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between clinical variables and @entity944 ( @entity944 ) and identify risk factors for @entity944 . @entity944 is one of the most frequent causes of @entity204 in @entity1 with @entity302 . Previous studies have reported possible risk factors associated with @entity944 , but there need to be elucidated yet. The cases were 26 @entity1 with @entity944 and three control @entity1 were included for each case, matched for age, sex, and date of initial clinical visit. All demographic and clinical characteristics, including age, sex, disease duration, classification of @entity302 , age at @entity410 onset, kind and number of antiepileptic drugs, were compared between cases and controls. @entity410 frequency was higher in @entity944 cases than in controls (P=0.035). Univariate analysis using conditional logistic regression showed that higher @entity410 frequency (odds ratio [OR]=3.1, P=0.021) and the number of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) (OR=2.0, P=0.009) were significantly associated with @entity944 . Only the number of AEDs remained significant in multivariate analysis (OR=1.8, P=0.026). Frequent @entity410 and multi-drug therapy were associated with @entity944 . This may suggest that the severity of @entity302 is associated with @entity944 , regardless of the type of AED used.
