The Australian Pregnancy Register (APR) is an independent project that has been running for over 16 years nationally. We are an observational register and collect information about pregnant women with epilepsy, treated and untreated to determine which AED are safest for the baby while protecting the mother from seizures. The APR also enrolls pregnant women who are taking AED s for conditions other than epilepsy such as for control of pain and treatment of mood disorders.
The Register is supported by the Epilepsy Society of Australia, Epilepsy Action, Epilepsy Australia, sanofi aventis, UCB Pharma, Eisai, SciGen, Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation, NHMRC & Novartis. The APR is affiliated with the European Register (EURAP) and has been approved by the ethics committees of major hospitals.
The APR collects information before and after the delivery on the mother’s medical and family history, social and educational background, previous pregnancies and details about her epilepsy and its treatment.
