Abstract:Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficiency of phenobarbital monotherapy in rural areas in harbin city between 2011 and 2015. Methods Convulsions type of epilepsy patients were treated with phenobarbital free drugs and follow-up management. We evaluted indicators such as drug efficacy, adverse reactions and patient compliance. We input data by Epi Data 3.1 software and chi-square tests to compare different indicators in variant years. Results Effective rate of epilepsy patients was 68.8% for 5 years follow-up,degradation rate was on the decline from 3 to 5 years, phenobarbital curative effect for different years was statistically significant (x2= 226.27, p= 0.000). Restlessness, rash and other adverse reactions was on the decline with time change. There was no statistically significant difference for epilepsy patients from 1 to 5 years (x2=23.79,p = 0.69). No patients felt worse when follow-up achieved to 3 years. There was statistically significant difference between different years for physical condition, mental condition, or labor ability for epilepsy patients(x2 = 85.86,p = 0.000). 5 years lost to follow-up rate was 24.10%, refused to take medicine was the mainreason for the refund group.
