Abstract

We read with interest the article by Razaz et al1 that documented the increased risks of a range of pregnancy complications in women with epilepsy. Reassuringly, there was no additional increased risk associated with antiepileptic drug therapy. However, this large study did not have the power to examine the severest of maternal outcomes, maternal mortality.
