Clinical profiling and prognosis of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in an Asian population.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major cause of mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the clinical characteristics and prognostic outcomes of STEMI patients who experience OHCA remain poorly understood.

Methods

Using data from the CCC-ACS (Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China - Acute Coronary Syndrome) project, we analyzed data from 70,901 patients with STEMI. Multivariable regression models were used to evaluate the associations between patient characteristics and the occurrence of OHCA as well as subsequent in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).

Results

Among the 70,901 STEMI patients included in this national retrospective cohort study, 1.9 % experienced OHCA, of whom 35.1 % subsequent
