Preventing tomorrow's sudden cardiac death in epilepsy today: what should physicians know about this? [PDF]
Approximately 1% of the population has epilepsy, the most common neurological disorder. Moreover, people with epilepsy are more likely to die prematurely than those without epilepsy, and the most common epilepsy-related category of death is sudden ...

A companion to the development of common data elements for Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). [PDF]
Abstract Objective Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a rare but devastating consequence of epilepsy and is the leading cause of death in people with epilepsy. SUDEP is associated with certain characteristics such as the presence of generalized tonic–clonic seizures, duration of epilepsy, and refractoriness to anti‐seizure medications ...

The ventrolateral medulla and medullary raphe in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy [PDF]
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a leading cause of premature death in patients with epilepsy. One hypothesis proposes that sudden death is mediated by post-ictal central respiratory depression, which could relate to underlying pathology in

Enhancing sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) research through development of common data elements. [PDF]
Abstract Objective Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is a fatal complication for individuals living with epilepsy and is associated with significant personal and public burden. While certain neurotransmitters and neuronal pathways have been associated with SUDEP, the exact biological mechanisms are unknown.
