Trends in Mortalities due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest in the United States Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, often occurring without warning and resulting in high fatality rates. Despite advances in prevention and emergency response, disparities in mortality remain rampant across demographic and geographic groups. This study examines long-term trends in sudden cardiac arrest-related mortality in the United States from 1999 to 2023, stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, region, and urbanization level.

Methods

Mortality data was extracted from the CDC WONDER database. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were calculated per 100 000 persons using the 2000 U.S. standard population. Joinpoint regression analysis was applied to estimate annual percent changes (APCs) and identify significant shifts in mortality
