About this study
Official title: Incidence and Outcome of Cardiac Arrhythmias Among Children in the Emergency Department at Assiut University Children Hospital
This cross-sectional study aims to determine the incidence, clinical presentation, and outcome of cardiac arrhythmias among children presenting to the Emergency Department of Assiut University Children Hospital.
Read the detailed description
Cardiac arrhythmias are a significant concern in the pediatric emergency setting. This observational study will include children aged 1 month to 18 years presenting with symptoms suggestive of arrhythmia (palpitation, chest pain, syncope, dyspnea, or respiratory distress).
All participants will undergo full history, clinical examination, 12-lead ECG, and additional investigations as indicated (echocardiography, Holter, laboratory tests). Incidence of different arrhythmia types, clinical picture, and short-term outcomes will be recorded.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Single cohort: Children presenting to pediatric ED | Children aged 1 month to 18 years presenting to the Emergency Department with symptoms suggestive of cardiac arrhythmia who will undergo ECG and clinical assessment. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence of cardiac arrhythmias
Proportion of children presenting to the pediatric emergency department who are diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia based on 12-lead ECG.
Measured: Baseline
Secondary outcomes (4)
Types of arrhythmias
Proportion of specific arrhythmia types (sinus tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, bradyarrhythmias, premature beats, and others) among diagnosed cases.
Measured: Baseline
Need for PICU admission
Proportion of children with cardiac arrhythmia who require admission to the pediatric intensive care unit.
Measured: Baseline
Need for cardioversion
Proportion of children who require electrical or pharmacological cardioversion.
Measured: Baseline
Mortality
Proportion of children with cardiac arrhythmia who die during the emergency department visit or hospital stay.
Measured: At 30 days
