Medication Incidents Involving Antiepileptic Drugs in Canadian Hospitals: A Multi-Incident Analysis.
Healthcare Quarterly 2017
Medication errors involving antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are not well studied but have the potential to cause significant harm.

Our multi-incident analysis revealed that while medication errors were rarely fatal, errors do occur of which some are serious.
