Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy

Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2007
Mortality in people with epilepsy is two- to three-times that of the general population. This can be attributed to epilepsy itself (epilepsy-related death) or to the underlying cause of the epilepsy. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the commonest cause of epilepsy-related death.

Update on Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

Neurologic Clinics, 2022
Persons with epilepsy (PWE) have an up to 34-fold increased risk of dying suddenly and unexpectedly compared with the general population. Despite being potentially preventable by optimal care, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is one of the most frequent causes of death in PWE, especially in children and younger adults. The incidence of SUDEP

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy in the bathtub

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2019
Sudden death in the bathtub occurs relatively frequently in Japan, particularly among elderly people. We hypothesize that sudden death in epilepsy occurring in the bathtub (SDEPB) can be distinguished from sudden death in nonepilepsy occurring in the bathtub (SDnonEPB), but is identical to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).Tokyo Medical ...

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2015
Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy: Mechanisms and New Methods for Analyzing Risks builds on earlier works focusing on the clinical problem of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). This book presents a methodology for identifying and classifying clusters of risks that lead to SUDEP.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy in children

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 2011
AbstractSudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUPEP) is the commonest cause of seizure‐related mortality in people with intractable epilepsy. The incidence of SUDEP varies in different epilepsy populations, with lower rates in population‐based studies, higher in referral populations and clinical trials of adjunct drugs for complex partial epilepsy, and ...

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

American Journal of Forensic Medicine & Pathology, 2005
Patients with epilepsy have a mortality rate higher than that of the general population; sudden unexpected death represents a significant category of mortality in these patients. The precise frequency of occurrence of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is not well defined, with a range of 1 in 370 to 1100 in the general epileptic population. A

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy in Victoria

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2000
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) refers to sudden unexpected death in patients with epilepsy in whom autopsy fails to reveal an anatomic or toxicological cause of death. The purpose of this study was to examine associated factors and mechanisms relating to SUDEP in Victoria.

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 2002
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy refers to sudden death of an individual with a clinical history of epilepsy, in whom a postmortem examination fails to uncover a gross anatomic, toxicologic, or environmental cause of death. Evidence of terminal seizure activity may not be present.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy in childhood

Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology, 2011
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the most feared complication of a seizure disorder. It has been less studied in childhood, probably because the incidence of sudden death is higher in adults than in children. SUDEP occurs more commonly in children where there is an underlying neuropathological disorder and a high rate of seizure.
