“…OHCA is in 70-75% witnessed by lay people [3,4]. Survival after OHCA is low (3-30%), but it is improving after increased public education and increased use of automatic external defi brillators (AEDs) [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

A data set concerning cardiac arrests treated by the Emergency Medical Service in Trondheim during a nine year period is analysed. The relationship between the occurrence of cardiac arrest and covariates related to weather and season is examined. The covariate order method is used in the analysis of the data. It is explained how this method can be extended to recurrent event data, and the practical usefulness and flexibility of the method is demonstrated in these analyses. In the analyses a significant relationship between outdoor air temperature, or factors closely related to outdoor air temperature, and the occurrence of cardiac arrest is found. The incidence of cardiac arrest decreases with increasing temperature. Further a significant effect of snowfall is also found, with increased intensity of cardiac arrest on days with snowfall. A more borderline significant effect of precipitation is also identified.

“…4,5,15,[23][24][25][26][27] This low rescue rate might be partly explained by the long interval (approximately 5 min) from emergency call to the ambulance's arrival at the scene. Another plausible explanation is that the proportion of aged people with inherently poor recovery has greatly increased in Japan in recent years.…”

BackgroundThe factors that influence survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Japan have not been fully investigated. Methods and ResultsThe official emergency service record was used to investigate 1,600 patients for whom cardiopulmonary resuscitation was attempted by the city's emergency personnel. Only 45 (2.8%) patients survived for 1 month. The survival rate was 9.8% in the patients under 20 years of age, with a marked decreasing trend to 0.8% in the patients aged 80 years or older. The rate peaked at 4.8% on Sunday and bottomed out at 0.5% on Thursday, forming a distinct sine curve. The survival rate was 9.9% when an ambulance arrived at the scene within 4 min, with a steep drop to 2.5% when 4-7 min elapsed. However, the rate was not significantly different by the interval to hospital. Although bystander resuscitation did not significantly affect the survival, paramedics on board significantly improved the rate (3.5% vs 1.6%). Multivariate analysis confirmed that age, day of the week, place, interval to ambulance's arrival, and personnel on board were independently associated with the probability of survival. Conclusions Quick arrival of a paramedic team would improve the survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. General education of lifesaving techniques would be another key factor.
