Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy [PDF]
Indian Journal of Medical Research, 2017 People with epilepsy have increased risk of premature death, and their life expectancy may reduce by 2-10 yr. Population- and hospital-based studies have shown that the excess mortality in epilepsy is not entirely explained by deaths directly attributable to epilepsy such as accidents and drowning during a seizure.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2011 Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) has an incidence ranging between 0.09 and 9 per 1000 patient-years depending on the patient population and the study methodology. It is the commonest cause of death directly attributable to epilepsy, and occurs at or around the time of a seizure.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1999 Summary The majority of persons with epilepsy develop lasting remission from seizures, although mortality is significantly greater than that of the age-matched general population. Of the deaths that are thought to be directly related to seizures, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is probably the commonest category; more so than status ...

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy
Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2010 Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a significant cause of death for people with epilepsy. Recent research suggests that multiple factors may contribute and that both cardiac and respiratory mechanisms are involved. Both human and animal data suggest that specific genetic factors might play a role in some cases.
