Supraventricular tachycardia diagnosis in asthma patients is associated with adverse health outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) can occur during treatment of an acute asthma exacerbation. There are, however, no data on the long-term outcomes of children who are diagnosed with both asthma and SVT. This study aims to analyze the impact of SVT in asthmatic children on mortality and/or cardiac arrest, hypothesizing asthmatic subjects with SVT have increased mortality and/or cardiac arrest compared to asthmatic subject with no-SVT.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study, utilizing the TriNetX© electronic health record (EHR) database that included asthmatic subjects 2-18 years of age. The study population was divided into two groups (subjects with SVT diagnosis and no-SVT diagnosis). Data related to demographics, diagnostic, procedural, and medication
