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 [PDF]

Neurology Clinical Practice, 2012
A 57-year-old man with severe mental retardation and epilepsy was found unresponsive. The primary caretaker said that he was on the toilet, rolled his eyes, and stopped breathing. She did not witness either generalized tonic-clonic seizures or trauma. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated by family members; paramedics found him in asystole.

Automated Analysis of Risk Factors for Postictal Generalized EEG Suppression

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Rationale: Currently, there is some ambiguity over the role of postictal generalized electro-encephalographic suppression (PGES) as a biomarker in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).

Seizure Clusters, Seizure Severity Markers, and SUDEP Risk

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Rationale: Seizure clusters may be related to Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). Two or more generalized convulsive seizures (GCS) were captured during video electroencephalography in 7/11 (64%) patients with monitored SUDEP in the MORTEMUS ...

The fundamental need for unifying phenotypes in sudden unexpected pediatric deaths

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
A definitive, authoritative approach to evaluate the causes of unexpected, and ultimately unexplained, pediatric deaths remains elusive, relegating final conclusions to diagnoses of exclusion in the vast majority of cases.

The application of SUDEP in forensic diagnosis: a mini review

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
In the epilepsy population, the risk of sudden death from epilepsy is rare but is ~24 times greater than the risk of sudden death from other causes. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) has been widely recognized in clinical studies.

Maternal Death Related to Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy: A Nationwide Survey in Japan

Brain Sciences, 2021
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is defined as the sudden death of a patient with epilepsy in the absence of an anatomic or toxicologic cause. Whether pregnancy is a risk factor for SUDEP is unclear.

Sudden unexpected infant death, sudden unexplained death in childhood, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. [PDF]

Dev Med Child Neurol
AbstractSudden deaths in infants and children represent a profound and tragic event that continues to challenge researchers despite extensive investigation over several decades. The predominant phenotype, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), has evolved into the broader category of sudden unexpected infant death (SUID).

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 ...

Predicting Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy [PDF]

Neurology, 2021
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a devastating and underrecognized cause of death in people with epilepsy. It can be a difficult subject to discuss. It can be even more difficult to predict. Previous studies have identified generally how often it occurs.
