Comparison of tolerability and adverse symptoms in oxcarbazepine and carbamazepine in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and neuralgiform headaches using the Liverpool Adverse Events Profile (AEP)

Table 2 Dependency of AEP total score and odds of exceeding a toxic score (>45) on SBD, gender and drug

	Linear model coefficients † ( p -values)
	SBD	Sex	Drug
AEP total score	1.98 (p < 0.001)	−6.65 (p = 0.001)	−2.71 (p = 0.160)
95 % CI	(0.97 to 3.00)	(−10.66 to −2.64)	(−6.51 to 1.08)
	Logistic model Odds Ratios † ( p -values)
	SBD	Sex	Drug
AEP total score >45	1.94 (p = 0.002)	0.111 (p = 0.003)	0.605 (p = 0.434)
95 % CI	(1.283 to 2.941)	(0.026 to 0.474)	(0.170 to 2.148)

†Interactions did not reach statistical significance and so were dropped from the models in order to improve clarity of results
