Response to sequential treatment with prednisolone and vigabatrin in infantile spasms
Aim To report response to first treatment in infants with infantile spasms (IS), including incremental benefit of prednisolone 60 mg/day and vigabatrin following prednisolone 40 mg/day failure in infants commenced on the United Kingdom Infantile Spasms Study (UKISS) treatment sequence.

To report response to first treatment in infants with infantile spasms (IS), including incremental benefit of prednisolone 60 mg/day and vigabatrin following prednisolone 40 mg/day failure in infants commenced on the United Kingdom Infantile Spasms Study (UKISS) treatment sequence.
Methods
In this retrospective analysis, we compared effectiveness of prednisolone, vigabatrin and nonstandard treatments as first treatment for IS. In infants who commenced the UKISS treatment sequence, we evaluated response to each step. Primary outcome was spasm cessation after 42 days. Secondary outcomes were severe side effects and spasm relapse after 42 days.
Results
Treatment response data were available for 151 infants. First treatment was prednisolone in 99 infants, vigabatrin in 18 and nonstandard treatment in 34. The rate of spasm cessation with first treatment was significantly higher with prednisolone (62/99, 63%) than vigabatrin (5/18, 28%, P = 0.01) or nonstandard treatment (2/34, 5.9%, P |

Of 112 infants who commenced the UKISS treatment sequence, 71/112 (63%) responded to prednisolone 40 mg/day. Among non‐responders, 12/29 (41%) subsequently responded to prednisolone 60 mg/day, and 10/22 (45%) to vigabatrin. Severe side effects and spasm relapse were not significantly different between each treatment.
Conclusion
We confirm higher rates of spasm cessation with initial treatment with prednisolone than vigabatrin and nonstandard therapy. Non‐use of prednisolone as first treatment in over one third of infants highlights a concerning treatment gap. The UKISS treatment sequence has high overall treatment response (total 93/112; 83%), with similar benefit of subsequent prednisolone 60 mg/day and vigabatrin in prednisolone 40 mg/day non‐responders.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1034-4810</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1440-1754</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/jpc.16181</identifier><identifier>PMID: 36054157</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Australia: John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd</publisher><subject>Anticonvulsants - adverse effects ; Babies ; Clinical outcomes ; Drug therapy ; Humans ; Infant ; infantile spasms ; Original ; Pediatrics ; prednisolone ; Prednisolone - therapeutic use ; Recurrence ; Retrospective Studies ; Spasm - chemically induced ; Spasm - complications ; Spasm - drug therapy ; Spasms, Infantile - chemically induced ; Spasms, Infantile - complications ; Spasms, Infantile - drug therapy ; Steroids ; treatment ; vigabatrin ; Vigabatrin - adverse effects</subject><ispartof>Journal of paediatrics and child health, 2022-12, Vol.58 (12), p.2197-2202</ispartof><rights>2022 The Authors. published by John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of Paediatrics and Child Health Division (The Royal Australasian College of Physicians).</rights><rights>2022 The Authors.
