CONCLUSIONS • To better understand the burden of epilepsy among 2to 12year-olds, we conducted a targeted literature review summarizing humanistic and economic outcomes. Data specific to POS are presented here. • Using MeSH and text words associated with epilepsy and each outcome of interest, we searched MEDLINE (via PubMed) to identify studies: • Written in English • Published in the last 10 years • Presented data collected within the US • Included children 2-12 years old with POS or generalized tonic-clonic seizures • Presented at least one outcome of interest: incidence, prevalence, mortality, morbidity, quality of life, healthcare utilization, healthcare costs, or medication adherence • We screened articles in two phases (title/abstract and fulltext) and included articles that stratified data by seizure type • We excluded pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, case series, and in vitro studies • Data on POS are presented here
