Abstract

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) generally refers to an unexpected death from a cardiovascular cause in a person with or without preexisting heart disease. The specificity of this definition varies depending on whether the event was witnessed; however, most studies include cases that are associated with a witnessed collapse, death occurring within 1 hour of an acute change in clinical status, or an unexpected death that occurred within the previous 24 hours.1–3 Further, sudden cardiac arrest describes SCD cases with resuscitation records or aborted SCD cases in which the individual survived the cardiac arrest. The incidence of SCD in the United States ranges between 180 000 and 450 000 cases annually.4 These estimates vary owing to differences in SCD definitions and surveillance methods for case ascertainment.4,5 In recent prospective studies using multiple sources in the United States,6,7 Netherlands,8 Ireland,9 and China,10 SCD rates range from 50 to 100 per 100 000 in the general population.3 Despite the need for multiple sources of surveillance to provide a more accurate estimate of SCD incidence, it is clear that the overall burden in the population remains high. Although improvements in primary and secondary prevention have resulted in substantial declines in overall coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality over the past 30 years,11,12 SCD rates specifically have declined to a lesser extent.13–16 SCD still accounts for >50% of all CHD deaths and 15% to 20% of all deaths.17,18 For some segments of the population, rates are not decreasing19 and may actually be increasing.14,19 As a result, SCD prevention represents a major opportunity to further reduce mortality from CHD. Despite major advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation20 and postresuscitation care, survival …

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.
