Editors' Note

Editors' Note: In the American Academy of Neurology and the American Epilepsy Society practice guideline on sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) incidence rates and risk factors, Harden et al. made recommendations to clinicians caring for people with epilepsy including the need to inform their patients about SUDEP, the most common cause of epilepsy-related death. Commenting on the guideline, Stanton et al. note that certain pediatric populations (children with Dravet syndrome, Dup15q syndrome) face a significantly higher risk of SUDEP.
