Abstract:
Despite an ever-growing body of medical literature on epilepsy and its treatment, there are many clinical situations in which the best approach is unclear. In these situations, physicians may turn to expert opinion for guidance. Several methods exist for summarizing expert opinion. The least biased method is also the newest: the expert consensus method. When this method is used to analyze opinion regarding the treatment of women with epilepsy, it is clear that the selection of therapy is influenced by the sex of the patient.
