Cognitive change over 24 months was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Analyses included linear mixed-effects modeling, sliding window interaction analysis across baseline MMSE scores (11\u201329), and 1:1 propensity score matching stratified by baseline MMSE (\u226421, 22\u201326, and \u226527).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After propensity score matching, baseline MMSE scores were well balanced between the groups. The sliding window analysis suggested a subgroup-specific interaction between group and time in the MMSE (range 22\u201326), peaking at MMSE 25. In the 22\u201326 stratum, MMSE at 12 months was higher in the AD with comorbid epilepsy group than in the AD-only group (23.23\u2009\u00b1\u20090.46 versus 20.33\u2009\u00b1\u20090.52, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The 24-month difference (22.92\u2009\u00b1\u20091.37 versus 19.36\u2009\u00b1\u20090.99, p\u2009=\u20090.047) was borderline and considered exploratory.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Antiseizure therapy was associated with favorable cognitive trajectories in patients with AD and comorbid epilepsy, particularly with baseline MMSE 22\u201326.
