A systematic review of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in childhood.

CONCLUSIONS: There is currently insufficient evidence to determine the etiology of pediatric SUDEP. Current best practice to prevent pediatric SUDEP is to optimize the management of epilepsy. A national SUDEP registry would provide invaluable high-quality data and insights into modifiable risk factors, genetic predispositions, and novel prevention strategies.
