| Abstract |
Sudden unexplained death in childhood is a traumatic event for both the immediate family and medical professionals. This is termed sudden unexplained or arrhythmic death syndrome (SUDS/SADS) for children over 1 year of age while sudden unexplained death in infancy or sudden infant death syndrome (SUDI/SIDS) refers to unexplained deaths in the first year of life. There is increasing evidence for the role of undiagnosed inherited cardiac conditions, particularly channelopathies, as the cause of these deaths. This has far-reaching implications for the family regarding the potential risk to other family members and future pregnancies, providing a challenge not only in the counselling but also in the structured assessment and management of immediate relatives. This review will discuss the cardiac risk involved in sudden unexplained deaths of infants and children, the role of molecular autopsy, family cardiological screening, current management strategies, and future directions in this area. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 July 2015.
All research outputs
#16,720,137
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Europace
#2,270
of 3,093 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#136,978
of 235,669 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Europace
#22
of 42 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,093 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.5. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 235,669 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 42 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
