Abstract:
People with epilepsy (PWE) may die suddenly and unexpectedly and without a clear under-lying pathological etiology; this is called SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy). The pooled estimated incidence rate for SUDEP is 23 times the incidence rate of sudden death in the general population with the same age. Empowering healthcare professionals, PWE, and their care-givers with the appropriate knowledge about SUDEP is very important to enable efficient preventive measures in PWE. In the current narrative review, following a brief discussion on the definition, epidemiology, and risk factors for SUDEP, the authors discuss the importance of appropriately educating healthcare professionals, PWE, and their caregivers about SUDEP.
