Etiologic and demographic characteristics of syncope in children and adolescents: a nationwide population-based study in Korea
The subsequent diagnosis of potentially life-threatening diseases in pediatric syncope, including HD and epilepsy, is relatively low in all age groups. In addition to comprehensive history taking and physical examination, demographic data such as age and sex, and season of occurrence, can aid in diagnosing the underlying cause of pediatric syncope by helping to identify patients who may require further investigations.
