Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

232
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Seizures: Classification

460
Epilepsy is primarily characterized by unpredictable seizures, either provoked by an identifiable factor, such as injury or illness, or unprovoked, occurring spontaneously without apparent cause.
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Bibliometrics

Background:

  • Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) literature is rapidly expanding.
  • Understanding the structure and trends of SUDEP research is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a bibliometric analysis of the SUDEP literature.
  • To present the structure, performance, and trends of SUDEP research.

Main Methods:

  • Searched Scopus database for SUDEP-related documents (April 2023).
  • Performed bibliometric analysis using R package bibliometrix and VOSviewer.
  • Analyzed productivity, authorship, country contributions, and collaboration networks.

Main Results:

  • Analyzed 2140 documents published from 1989 onwards.
  • Identified USA and UK as most productive countries; highlighted international collaborations.
  • Prominent themes: pathophysiology, epilepsy characteristics, epidemiology; emerging themes: sleep, genetics, refractoriness, animal studies.

Conclusions:

  • The SUDEP research field is robust, expanding, and internationally collaborative.
  • Recent research increasingly focuses on sleep, genetics, and animal models in SUDEP.
