A sudden death risk score specifically for hypertension: based on 25 648 individual patient data from six randomized controlled trials

Conclusion: Our work provides a simple risk-scoring system for sudden death prediction in hypertension, using individual data from six randomized controlled trials of antihypertensive treatments. HYSUD score could help assessing a hypertensive individual's risk of sudden death and optimizing preventive therapeutic strategies for these patients.
