Risk Factors for Sudden Unexpected Death in epilepsy:A Case-Control Study
Lancet 353:888-893, Nilsson,L.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our data suggest that SUDEP is a seizure-related event, although the pathophysiological substrate that predisposes individuals to SUDEP may be established at an early age, and there may be some sex differences. Improvement of seizure control and possibly the avoidance of polytherapy may be ways to reduce the risk of SUDEP.
