Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the death of an apparently healthy person within one hour of the onset of symptoms, or within 24 hours of last being seen alive and well-with no evidence of an extra-cardiac cause. In autopsied cases, SCD is defined as the natural unexpected death of unknown or cardiac cause. The reported incidence figures for SCD vary widely. ⋯ The affected families should be investigated systematically so that appropriate diagnoses and treatments can be established.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
The Care of Children and Adolescents With Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cluster-Randomized Trial on Improving the Guideline Conformity of Treatment by the Use of the CEDATA-GPGE Patient Registry.
For children and adolescents with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), treatment that is not in adequate conformity with the guidelines can adversely affect both the course of disease and the patients' development. The targeted use of digital patient registries may improve real-life adherence to the recommendations of evidence-based guidelines. ⋯ Registry-based feedback can help bring treatment and its documentation into better con for - mity with the relevant guidelines and thereby reduce or prevent care deficits in children and adolescents with IBD.

Observational Study
The Incidence of Endometriosis, 2014–2022. An Analysis of Nationwide Claims Data From Physicians in Private Practice.
The epidemiological characterization of endometri - osis, particularly with regard to its incidence, has been inadequate to date both in Germany and other countries. The goal of this study was to determine trends in the incidence of diagnosed endometri - osis and changes in age structure at the time of first diagnosis over the period 2014-2022. ⋯ This is the first study providing nationwide population-based data on the incidence of endometriosis in Germany. The observed rise in newly diagnosed cases is presumably mainly due to an increased awareness of endometriosis and to the growing recognition of the disease.
