Long-term follow-up of cardiac arrest survivors: Protocol of the DESAC (Devenir des survivants d'Arrets Cardiaques) study, a French multicentric prospective cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While the short-term prognosis of cardiac arrest patients - nearly 250,000 new cases per year in Europe - has been extensively studied, less is known regarding the mid and long-term outcome of survivors.
