Electroclinical Features of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) : a Multi-center Observational Study

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is regarded as a leading cause of premature death in epilepsy patients. We aim to capture the whole process of SUDEP and near-SUDEP occurrence in patients with epilepsy, and expolre video-electroencephalograph (V-EEG) changes and marker. A Chinese multicenter study was carried out to determine electroencephalo-graph marker related to SUDEP to provide a scientific basis for the prevention of SUDEP in patients with epilepsy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with epilepsy who meet SUDEP or near-SUDEP diagnosis,
• Giving written informed consent to participate in the study from relatives or caregivers.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Refusing to recruitment from relatives or caregivers.
