sudden unexpected death in epilepsy/癲癇性発作

In this study, the investigators will only enroll adults with confirmed or suspected epilepsy; there is no control group. Patients admitted to the UIHC Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) for continuous VideoEEG will undergo video recordings of their face and body, electroencephalography (EEG), and

Specifically, the investigators propose the following: Aim 1: Add a "SUDEP module" to CHICA to identify children at increased risk of SUDEP, provide patient education materials that the clinician can share with the families, and recommend timelier follow-up with a child neurologist. The SUDEP module

Numerous studies over the past decade have shown without any doubt that there is a higher mortality risk in patients with epilepsy than in the general population. The cause of death may be related to the cause of epilepsy, being directly related to a seizure (status epilepticus or sudden unexpected

Rationale: Persons with epilepsy have a greater risk of incurring accidental injury and a higher mortality risk than the general population. Study Objective : To understand life experience of the disease and risks associated with epilepsy in patients with epilepsy, relatives of patients with

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) refers to the sudden, unexpected, nontraumatic, non-drowning, witnessed or unwitnessed death of an individual with epilepsy. Postmortem examination in such cases fails to reveal an obvious medical or toxicologic cause for the death, and patients who die

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) primarily affects young adults with drug-resistant epilepsy, with an incidence of about 0.4%/year. The diagnosis of SUDEP requires that anamnestic data and post-mortem examination do not reveal a structural or toxicological cause for death. Generalized

Introduction The purpose of this observational registry is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness, safety and performance of market-released Medtronic Neuromodulation products for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of refractory epilepsy. In addition, healthcare resource use and patient

By employing long-term electrocardiographic monitoring, this study plans to determine: 1. the frequency and types of cardiac arrhythmias that occur in patients with uncontrolled seizures and 2. whether these are increased above the general population in the same age group. The specific aims: 1.
