Incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and survival rates after 1 month among the Japanese working population: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The prevention and improvement of the prognosis of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) are important issues especially with respect to their social and economic significance in working populations. The age distribution of the working population in Japan is expected to change continually due to its ageing society and extension of retirement; however, few reports have examined the long-term condition of OHCA in the working population, defined by age. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of OHCAs and the survival rates after 1 month, among the Japanese working population, defined by age, considering the changing age distribution.

Design and setting

We analysed the All-Japan Utstein registry, a prospective, nationwide, population-based, observation
