Patients diagnosed with GBM between 2007-2018 treated with standard therapy were included. The study population was divided into long-term (\u2265 60 days) and short-term (&lt; 30 days) LEV groups. A separate long-term valproic acid (VPA) group (\u2265 60 days) was identified for comparison. Demographics, disease characteristics, and treatment parameters were collected. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression were used to compare survival outcomes between the groups.Results Overall, 2,971 patients were included, with 1,319 and 1,652 in the short-term and long-term LEV groups, respectively. The median overall survival (OS) for the entire population was 19.15 months post-surgery. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a significantly longer median OS in the long-term LEV group versus the short-term LEV group. After adjusting for confounders, Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed an association of long-term LEV use with improved survival, which was also observed in a subgroup analysis of patients without preoperative seizure history. The long-term LEV group demonstrated longer median OS, compared with the long-term VPA group.Conclusion Our nationwide population-based study found an association between long-term LEV use and improved survival in patients with GBM, regardless of preoperative seizure history. Prospective studies are needed to validate these findings and investigate the potential impact of LEV on the survival outcomes of patients with GBM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4143\/crt.2024.355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,6]],"date-time":"2024-09-06T05:45:46Z","timestamp":1725601546000},"page":"369-377","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4143\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Association
