Characteristics, survival and neurological outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A nationwide study of 56,203 cases with emphasis on cardiovascular comorbidities.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We studied clinical characteristics, survival and neurological outcomes in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular (CV) conditions who experienced an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Methods

We studied all cases of OHCA in the Swedish Registry for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (2010-2020). Patients were grouped according to the following pre-existing CV conditions prior: hypertension (HT), heart failure (HF) with HT, HF with ischemic heart disease (IHD), HF without HT or IHD, IHD, myocardial infarction (MI) and diabetes mellitus (DM), with groups being mutually exclusive. We studied 30-day survival and neurological outcomes using logistic and Cox regression.

Results

A total of 56,203 patients were included. The lowest rates of shockable rhythm occur
