To assess the effect of monotherapy with Carbamazepine (CBZ) and Sodium valproate (VPA) on serum 25-OH Vitamin D levels in children with epilepsy compared to controls.
Cross-sectional study.
Outpatient department of a tertiary-care Pediatric Neurology centre, and a nearby day-care centre and school.
June 2012 to May 2013.
Children with epilepsy aged 2 to 13 years on monotherapy with CBZ (n=28) or VPA (n=28) for at least 6 months; 109 age-matched controls from a nearby day-care centre and school.
The median (IQR) values of 25 (OH) vitamin D was 18.0 ng/mL (13.7-27.3), 21.35 ng/mL (16.4 -25.2) and 30.5 ng/mL (19.1-43.7) in CBZ, VPA and control group, respectively (P= 0.008). 60.7% of patients in CBZ group and 35.7 % in VPA group had low 25 (OH) D levels (%20 ng/mL) compared to 27.8% in controls (P=0.001).The serum alkaline phosphatase level was higher in children on carbamazepine therapy (P=0.001) than controls.
This study identifies significant risk of vitamin D deficiency in ambulant children with epilepsy on monotherapy with CBZ or VPA.
评估与对照组相比,卡马西平(CBZ)和丙戊酸钠(VPA)单药治疗对癫痫患儿血清25-羟基维生素D水平的影响。
横断面研究。
一家三级儿科神经科中心的门诊部以及附近的日托中心和学校。
2012年6月至2013年5月。
年龄在2至13岁、接受CBZ(n = 28)或VPA(n = 28)单药治疗至少6个月的癫痫患儿;来自附近日托中心和学校的109名年龄匹配的对照儿童。
CBZ组、VPA组和对照组中25(OH)维生素D的中位数(四分位间距)值分别为18.0 ng/mL(13.7 - 27.3)、21.35 ng/mL(16.4 - 25.2)和30.5 ng/mL(19.1 - 43.7)(P = 0.008)。与对照组的27.8%相比,CBZ组60.7%的患者和VPA组35.7%的患者25(OH)D水平较低(<20 ng/mL)(P = 0.001)。接受卡马西平治疗的儿童血清碱性磷酸酶水平高于对照组(P = 0.001)。
本研究发现接受CBZ或VPA单药治疗的门诊癫痫患儿存在维生素D缺乏的显著风险。
