Improving the identification of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac deaths in a general practice research database
Varas-Lorenzo, C., Arana, A., Johannes, C., McQuay, L., Rothman, K., & Fife, D. (2016). Improving the identification of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac deaths in a general practice research database. Drugs - Real World Outcomes, 3(3), 353-358. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40801-016-0086-1
