Risk Assessment for Sudden Death in Epilepsy: The SUDEP-7 Inventory
Frontiers in Neurology, 2015 Background: Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is a major cause of death in those with drug resistant epilepsy. There is a need for inventories and biomarkers associated with the risk for SUDEP.
