Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes about Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) among people living with epilepsy (PLWE) and healthcare providers in Uganda.
- Results showed that half of the PLWE had never heard of SUDEP, while most wanted more information on the topic and preferred to discuss it during future visits.
