Summary
This study looked at whether tiny molecules in the blood, called microRNAs, can help identify epilepsy patients who have dangerous drops in oxygen during seizures. Researchers monitored 75 adults with drug-resistant epilepsy during long-term video-EEG and compared those who had breathing problems with those who did not. The goal is to find a simple blood test that could predict risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
