Syncope in Children and Adolescents

Kanjwal, Khalil, Calkins, Hugh·2015·Cardiology Clinics

Abstract

Most strategies for managing syncope in children reflect data from studies involving the adult population. In the future, there will be a great need for studies in children and adolescents suffering from recurrent syncope. To date, there has been no Food and Drug Administration-approved therapy for neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS), the most common cause of syncope in both adults and children. None of the clinical trials of pharmacotherapy in NCS has shown benefit over placebo. NCS should be considered a chronic condition, and the aim of the therapy should be to decrease recurrence of syncope rather than to completely eliminate it.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
