This article makes a cross-section survey on the incidence of syncope in children and adolescents aged 2\u201318 years in Changsha.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:bold>There were 4,352 children and adolescents aged 2\u201318 years randomly selected from six primary and secondary schools and three kindergartens in Changsha from March 2018 to November 2018.
