SUDEP NEWS: New research shows that PGES is not an accurate indicator of SUDEP risk. Have you heard about the link between PGES and SUDEP? It is possible that your neurologist has spoken to you about it. Prolonged postictal generalized electroencephalography (EEG) suppression (PGES) is an “inconsistent” finding in patients with epilepsy, say researchers. "Overall, these findings emphasize that the occurrence of PGES is critically dependent on the number of seizures recorded and therefore unlikely to be a reliable factor to assess SUDEP [sudden unexpected death in epilepsy] risk,” they write in Neurology.
