Effect estimate: Annual percentage change -3.9% (95% CI -5.8 to -2.0)
The incidence of sudden cardiac death among US male career firefighters is lower than in the general population and steadily declined between 1998 and 2012.
Farioli et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Sudden cardiac death. US male career firefighters vs. US general population and US military personnel was evaluated on Incidence of sudden cardiac death (Annual percentage change -3.9%, 95% CI -5.8 to -2.0). Among US male career firefighters, the overall incidence of sudden cardiac death was 18.1 per 100,000 person-years, which steadily declined over time (annual percentage change -3.9%; 95% CI -5.8 to -2.0).
