Join SUDEP researcher and epilepsy provider, Dr. Orrin Devinsky, as he moderates a session with leading international researchers on biomarkers and how close we really are to understanding what puts an individual at greater risk for SUDEP.

The Center for SUDEP Research (CSR) was NINDS' most significant investment to date focused on advancing understanding of SUDEP. As a large, 5-year, multi-disciplinary, and multi-center study - the CSR promised to catalyze research on SUDEP and dramatically enhance our understanding of this poorly understood and devastating phenomenon. What did it achieve and where do we go from here?

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of death in patients with refractory epilepsy. Though we are learning a great deal about SUDEP, it still occurs far too often. It is recognized that SUDEP happens frequently during the night, possibly during sleep. Understanding the connection between night, sleep, and SUDEP may provide clues to improving preventive measures. This webinar reviewed the latest in basic science and clinical research on sleep, circadian rhythms, and SUDEP.

This PAME webinar explored racial, ethnic, economic, and geographic differences in epilepsy-related mortality in the U.S. and globally.  Where can we look to make progress?  The following panelists will shared the latest science as well as personal experiences to help inform this important topic.
