Key result
Non-benign neonatal arrhythmia was associated with significantly higher rates of death (OR 5.73) and recurrence (OR 8.49) compared to benign neonatal arrhythmia.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to explore the association between neonatal arrhythmia and mortality and recurrence.

Does non-benign neonatal arrhythmia increase the risk of mortality and recurrence compared to benign neonatal arrhythmia in neonates?
Odds Ratio: 5.73 (95% CI 1.07–31.01)

Non-benign neonatal arrhythmia is associated with significantly higher risks of mortality and recurrence compared to benign neonatal arrhythmia, highlighting the need for close follow-up.
Ran et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Neonatal arrhythmia (n=179). Non-benign neonatal arrhythmia vs. Benign neonatal arrhythmia was evaluated on Mortality (OR 5.73, 95% CI 1.07-31.01, p=0.04). Non-benign neonatal arrhythmia was associated with significantly higher rates of death (OR 5.73) and recurrence (OR 8.49) compared to benign neonatal arrhythmia.
