Seizure and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) characteristics in an urban UK intellectual disability service

Intellectual disability (ID) is defined as a significant impairment of intellectual function and adaptive behaviour, developing before 18 years of age [1]. People with ID have higher rates of morbidity and mortality than those without ID [2,3]. The reasons for this are multifactorial and range from higher prevalence of co-morbidity to barriers accessing suitable services [4,5].
