National Surveillance of Pediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Korea: The 10-Year Trend From 2009 to 2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study reports trends in pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and factors affecting clinical outcomes by age group.

Methods

We identified 4,561 OHCA patients younger than 18 years between January 2009 and December 2018 in the Korean OHCA Registry. The patients were divided into four groups: group 1 (1 year or younger), group 2 (1 to 5 years), group 3 (6 to 12 years), and group 4 (13 to 17 years). The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge, and the secondary outcomes were return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) at the emergency department (ED) and good neurological status at discharge. Multivariate logistic analyses were performed.

Results

The incidence rate of pediatric OHCA in group 1 increased from 45.57 to 60.89 per 100,000 pe
