ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Previous estimates of sudden cardiac death in children and young adults vary significantly, and population-based studies in the United States are lacking. We sought to estimate the incidence, causes, and mortality trends of sudden cardiac death in children and young adults (1-34 years).METHODS:
Demographic and mortality data based on death certificates for US residents (1-34 years) were obtained (1999-2015). Cases of sudden death and sudden cardiac death were retrieved by using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes.RESULTS:
A total of 1 452 808 subjects aged 1 to 34 years died in the United States, of which 31 492 (2%) were due to sudden cardiac death. The estimated incidence of sudden cardiac death is 1.32 per 100 000 individuals and increased with age from 0.49 (1-10 years) to 2.76 (26-34 years). During the study period, incidence of sudden cardiac death declined from 1.48 to 1.13 per 100 000 (P < .001). Mortality reduction was observed across all racial and ethnic groups with a varying magnitude and was highest in children aged 11 to 18 years. Significant disparities were found, with non-Hispanic African American individuals and individuals aged 26 to 34 years having the highest mortality rates. The majority of young children (1-10 years) died of congenital heart disease (n = 1525, 46%), whereas young adults died most commonly from ischemic heart disease (n = 5075, 29%).CONCLUSIONS:
Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death rates declined 24% from 1999 to 2015. Disparities in mortality exist across age groups and racial and ethnic groups, with non-Hispanic African American individuals having the highest mortality rates.
