Abstract

It has been reported that influenza infection is associated with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of cardiac origin (OHCA-CA). However, the association between OHCA-CA and influenza epidemics in adults has not been well investigated.We analyzed data from the All-Japan Utstein Registry, a prospective, nationwide, population-based, observational study, regarding OHCA-CA cases and the Infectious Diseases Weekly Report for influenza cases: 17,710 OHCA-CA cases and 764,808 influenza cases were recorded between 2005 and 2015 in Fukuoka, Japan.
