Equivocal significance of post-ictal generalized EEG suppression as a marker of SUDEP risk

Highlights • PGES is a frequent but inconsistent finding in patients after generalized convulsive seizure. • PGES is shorter in patients who die from definite or probable SUDEP compared to living controls. • Earlier nursing intervention correlates with shorter seizure duration after GCS.
