- Survivors of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) had a significantly higher risk of cerebrovascular accidents and ischemic heart disease.
- Elevates cardiovascular mortality risks peak at 1 year after SJS/TEN and persist for 4 to 7 years.
- SJS/TEN survivors over 50 years old and those requiring ICU admission had the highest cardiovascular mortality risk.
- Future research with more detailed clinical data is needed to validate these findings and explore potential interventions.
- Tailored monitoring and preventive strategies, such as cardiovascular risk factor modification, should be considered to minimize cardiovascular mortality in these patients.
