Sudden Death in Epilepsy: Risk Analyses

by Claire M. Lathers (Editor), Paul L. Schraeder (Editor), Jan E. Leestma (Editor), Braxton B. Wannamaker (Editor), Richard L. Verrier, F.A.C.C., Ph.D. (Editor)

This book presents a concise method for identifying and classification clusters of risks that lead to sudden death in persons with epilepsy (SUDEP). It demonstrates how medical examiners, coroner’s offices, emergency room physicians, and attending physicians can use this system of risk factor classification to detect and prevent the occurrence of SUDEP. The forensic SUDEP Syndrome Clusters enables enhanced management of persons with epilepsy since the attending physician will be able to identify those patients at a higher and highest risk for death from SUDEP.
