AI-Driven Prognosis: EEGSurvNet Accurately Predicts Seizure Timing From Routine EEG Data

By MedXY 01/28/2026

Researchers developed EEGSurvNet, a deep survival model that analyzes routine EEG to predict seizure risk over two years. Outperforming clinical models, it achieved an AUROC of 0.80 at two months and showed high efficacy in patients without visible epileptiform discharges.

Impaired Sleep Homeostasis and Respiratory Instability: Identifying Novel Biomarkers for Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

By MedXY 12/23/2025

This case-control study identifies altered slow-wave activity progression and increased respiratory variability during NREM sleep as significant biomarkers for SUDEP risk, providing a potential framework for objective clinical screening and risk stratification in epilepsy patients.

Do Behavioural, Self-Management, and Service Delivery Models Improve Outcomes in Adults with Epilepsy?

By MedXY 12/17/2025

A Cochrane review finds limited and low- to moderate-certainty evidence that behavioural, self-management, or service delivery interventions improve seizure control or quality of life in adults with epilepsy.

Geographic Clusters of Late-Life Epilepsy in US Medicare: Sleep and Mobility as Key Contextual Drivers

By MedXY 11/25/2025

A Medicare cohort study mapped incident epilepsy among older adults across the contiguous US and linked high-incidence areas to social and environmental determinants—most strongly insufficient sleep and lack of household vehicle access—suggesting targets for policy and prevention.

Decoding SUDEP: Key Risk Markers and the Role of Peri-Ictal Apnoea in Epilepsy Mortality

By MedXY 10/10/2025

A decade-long prospective study identifies living alone, convulsive seizure frequency, and peri-ictal apnoea as pivotal predictors for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), highlighting the potential of cardiorespiratory monitoring in risk assessment.

Unraveling the Gut-Brain Axis: Microbiota and Metabolite Shifts Predict Seizure Reduction in Children on the Ketogenic Diet

By MedXY 08/08/2025

Serum metabolome and gut microbiota changes during ketogenic diet therapy correlate with seizure reduction in drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy, implicating plasmalogens and specific gut microbes in anti-seizure effects.
