Patient Characteristics Associated with Hospital Admission or Antiarrhythmic Medication Changes After Emergency Department Evaluation of Supraventricular Tachycardia

ConclusionsNearly half of children treated in a pediatric ED for SVT are discharged without changes in medications. We identified patient factors associated with hospital admission or antiarrhythmic medication changes. These factors represent high value care and can be assessed when considering transfer from a referring facility. Risk stratification using these patient characteristics may reduce potentially avoidable transfers and admissions.
