Cardiovascular Etiologies and Risk Factors of Survival Outcomes After Resuscitation for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Data From the KoCARC Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

The outcomes and characteristics of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary across geographic regions. The etiologies and prognoses of OHCA in Asian populations remain less established. This study aimed to investigate the etiologies and clinical characteristics of patients successfully resuscitated after OHCA and to identify predictors of survival outcomes.

Methods

Data were extracted from a South Korean multicenter prospective registry of OHCA that included 64 tertiary hospitals from 2015 to 2018 (n=7,577). The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and the secondary outcome was a Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score of grade 1 at discharge.

Results

Of the 7,577 patients, 2,066 achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) an
