Outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrests by anaphylaxis: A nationwide population-based observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The objective of this study was to focus on outcomes of anaphylaxis-associated out-of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in non-cardiac cases.

Methods

All residents with OHCA due to non-cardiac cause in Japan from 2013 to 2015 were included for analysis. Propensity score matching and logistic regression analyses were used to assess outcome-related factors in anaphylaxis cases and non-anaphylaxis cases. The comparison group was comprised of non-anaphylaxis cases, which consisted of other cases of non-cardiac etiology.

Results

A total of 375,874 OHCA cases were included, of which 148,598 were due to non-cardiac cause. In these non-cardiac OHCA cases, 147 were due to anaphylaxis, with an annual incidence of 0.04 per 100,000. In the patients' characteristics, witnessed ra
