All-Cause Epilepsy Mortality
Understanding all-cause mortality in epilepsy is crucial because it extends our focus beyond SUDEP and highlights the various preventable factors contributing to premature deaths in individuals with epilepsy, such as accidents and comorbid conditions. This broader perspective allows us to develop more comprehensive strategies for improving outcomes for people with epilepsy. In this session, we'll explore a comprehensive spectrum of preventable deaths associated with seizures and epilepsy.
