Sudden Death from Cardiac Causes in Children and Young Adults
Abstract
Although sudden death in a young person is rare, it can have a great impact on both the lay and the medical communities. Such unanticipated deaths sometimes occur in dramatic circumstances and often have medical and legal ramifications. Some of these deaths are not predictable or preventable by current practical means; however, in many cases there are premonitory symptoms, a family history of sudden death at a young age, clinical or electrocardiographic abnormalities, or high-risk behavior.Among older adults, sudden deaths are often due to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and terminal ventricular fibrillation. Each year there are 300,000 such deaths . . .

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.
