Researchers examined nearly 1,300 Oregon death certificate data for people 16 to 30 years old who died of unknown reasons or heart conditions.
Of 101 death certificates where a cardiac event was not ruled out as cause of death, 40 deaths occurred among those who received a COVID-19 vaccine dose, and three occurred within 100 days after vaccination. Among those, two occurred in people with underlying illnesses and one had an undetermined cause of death.
The CDC researchers concluded there was no data to support an association between COVID-19 vaccination and sudden cardiac death among young people.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
