Causes of sudden cardiac arrest and death and the diagnostic yield of sport preparticipation screening in children

Conclusions
In children aged 8–15 years, the incidence of SCA/D and the yield of PPS for identifying at-risk CVD were both substantially higher in those ≥12 years, suggesting that systematic PPS may be more useful beyond this age.
