  • Abstract

    Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs) are one of the most common, severe, and life-threatening types of adverse reactions following treatment with antiseizure medications (ASMs). Some studies have reported a higher incidence of ASM-induced cADRs in females than in males.

    This study sought to perform a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression to compare the ASM cADR risks between females and males.
