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, 2021
To develop and validate a tool for individualized prediction of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) risk, we reanalyzed data from 1 cohort and 3 case-control studies undertaken from 1980 through 2005.We entered 1,273 epilepsy cases (287 SUDEP, 986 controls) and 22 clinical predictor variables into a Bayesian logistic regression model.Cross ...

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.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy: A bibliometric overview

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
The mechanism of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is elusive and many questions remain unanswered. Autopsy is generally unhelpful in providing evidence for the cause of death, as pathological changes may be on the molecular level.

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.

Sudden unexpected, unexplained death in epilepsy autopsied patients [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2001
Sudden unexpected, unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) has been reported to be responsible for 2 to 17% of all deaths in patients with epilepsy. This study was conducted to determine the circumstances of SUDEP and the autopsy findings in these patients.
