There is currently no established and accepted definition of SCD in the clinical setting of dialysis. A recent meta-analysis [10] analyzing the incidence of SCD in ESKD patients clearly showed a complicated situation, in that the definition of SCD varied among the 43 included studies. There was no obvious definition of SCD in 26 studies, and the remaining 17 studies included time in their definition of SCD. The most common definitions of SCD were “death occurring within 1 h of symptom onset with no clinical support for another cause” or “death occurring within 24 h of symptom onset with no clinical support for another cause.” Therefore, either of these definitions could be recommended for use at this point as the definition for SCD in the clinical setting.
