“…As for the study populations, varying sample sizes were identified. Several authors stated, as a limitation of their study, the limited number of patients included (Mikati et al, 1992; Guberman and Corman, 2000; Bautista et al, 2011; Abolfazli et al, 2012; Ngo et al, 2013; Fehse et al, 2015; Piguet et al, 2015; Ting et al, 2015; Faasse et al, 2016; Privitera et al, 2016; Vari et al, 2016; Bosak et al, 2017; Fanella et al, 2017; Markoula et al, 2017; Gha-Hyun and Dae, 2018; Saposnik et al, 2018), while two large population-based studies (Gollwitzer et al, 2016; Kesselheim et al, 2016) were included. Moreover, in five studies, patients’ recruitment was made from a tertiary epilepsy clinic (Guberman and Corman, 2000; Bautista et al, 2011; Bosak et al, 2017; Das et al, 2019; Gha-Hyun and Dae, 2018), thus making the generalization of their results difficult.…”
