DETECTING, ASSESSING AND MANAGING EXTREME EPILEPTIC EVENTS

摘要

Methods, system and apparatus for identifying extreme epileptic events are provided. In one aspect, an inter-seizure interval (ISI) value related to at least two seizure events is determined, compared to a reference value, and an extreme seizure event is determined from the comparison. In another aspect, a first seizure event is detected, and a body index affected by the seizure is determined. An extreme seizure event is determined when a second seizure event occurs prior to the body index value returning to a reference value. Another method includes determining an one index from body data, identifying a seizure event based upon the index, determining at least one seizure severity index (SSI) value for the seizure, comparing the SSI value to a reference value, and determining an extreme seizure event from the comparison. A further method includes determining an increased risk of death and responding to the increased risk.
