Abstract
The literature is divided regarding the bone effects of EIAEDs; however, current best evidence supports an increased fracture risk in PWE treated with an EIAED compared to those treated with non-EIAEDs. A single article dominated our review, and other large methodologically rigorous studies are needed to confirm or refute its results. Further small studies, with limited power to control for multiple potentially confounding variables, are not likely to help.
