This study identifies the risk factors of sudden death among resident anesthesiologists in Libya. A multicenter observational case-control study was conducted over seven months (September–December 2022), involving 88 anesthesiologists from nine public hospitals. Participants were chosen using a case-control method, with one death for every 11 anesthesiologists in the same locality. Data collection included a structured electronic questionnaire, WHO-standardized physical measurements, blood sampling, and cardiovascular assessments. Statistical analysis was performed using Power BI, applying Odds ratio χ², t-test, ANOVA, and regression models (p 0.001), with a mean age of 39 (SD = 8.7) years, and married (67.05%; χ² = 14.98, P < 0.001). BMI analysis revealed a high prevalence of overweight (36.36%) and obesity (35.23%). Employment duration and smoking history also demonstrated significant variability (χ² = 34.97 and 39.23, respectively; P < 0.001). Psychosocial stressors were prevalent, with economic hardship (31.82%), family conflict (12.5%), and perceived isolation (15.91%) showing statistically significant disparities (P 0.05). Biomedical findings showed sex-based differences: males had elevated triglycerides (165.0 ± 118.2 mg/dL; p = 0.042), while females had higher HDL (56.5 ± 9.5 mg/dL; p < 0.001) and D-dimer levels (0.3 ± 0.1 µg/mL; p < 0.001). ECG and echocardiography were largely normal, though 26 physicians (29.5%) exhibited unexplained cardiac anomalies. Among these, 73.1% had both SARS-COV-2 infection and vaccination, with the highest anomaly rate among recipients of mixed vaccine doses (34.6%). These findings underscore the need for targeted occupational health strategies, routine cardiovascular screening, and further investigation into post-COVID-19 cardiac effects among frontline medical personnel.
