A random-effects (DerSimonian-Laird) model was used to conduct this meta-analysis.

We identified 13 eligible clinical trials with 24900 participants.

{"title":"Autopsy results and factors associated with sudden cardiac death in young individuals with congenital heart disease - a nationwide study.","authors":"Emma Galos, Christina Christersson, Tomasz Baron, Bodil Svennblad, Aase Wisten, Eva-Lena Stattin","doi":"10.1080/14017431.2025.2480131","DOIUrl":"10.1080/14017431.2025.2480131","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Objectives: </strong>Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a leading cause of mortality among individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD), and risk stratification remains challenging. This study aimed to describe the underlying structural cardiac abnormalities in a national cohort of SCD victims with CHD, their socioeconomic status, and interactions with the healthcare system before death.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The Swedish study of Sudden Cardiac Death in the Young, 2000-2010, included SCD victims under 36 years, along with population-based controls and their parents. Of 903 SCD victims, 39 with autopsy-defined CHD were included in this study, together with 195 controls. Information on socioeconomic variables and healthcare contacts was gathered from Swedish national registers.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The median age for SCD was 24 years, and 64% were male. The CHD was undiagnosed before death in 31% of the cases, of whom 8 had coronary anomalies. Moderate to complex CHD was observed in 41%. Structural abnormalities of the ventricles were prevalent, with left ventricular hypertrophy present in 56% and fibrosis in 64%. The cases had a higher frequency of hospital admissions within 6 months before SCD compared to controls (OR 14.1,95% CI 3.80-52.44), <i>p</i> < 0.001. No socioeconomic differences were observed.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study identified a broad spectrum of underlying anatomical defects, with ventricular structural abnormalities being a common autopsy finding. The majority of cases had moderate to severe lesions. An increased frequency of healthcare contacts prior to death was noted, which may be a variable needing more attention as a predictor for a higher risk of SCD.</p>","PeriodicalId":21383,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal","volume":" ","pages":"2480131"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143650119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
