The profile of Japanese Association for Acute Medicine - out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry in 2014-2015.
Acute Medicine & Surgery 2018 July
Aim: To describe the registry design of the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine - out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (JAAM-OHCA) Registry as well as its profile on hospital information, patient and emergency medical service characteristics, and in-hospital procedures and outcomes among patients with OHCA who were transported to the participating institutions.
Methods: The special committee aiming to improve the survival after OHCA by providing evidence-based therapeutic strategies and emergency medical systems from the JAAM has launched a multicenter, prospective registry that enrolled OHCA patients who were transported to critical care medical centers or hospitals with an emergency care department. The primary outcome was a favorable neurological status 1 month after OHCA.
Results: Between June 2014 and December 2015, a total of 12,024 eligible patients with OHCA were registered in 73 participating institutions. The mean age of the patients was 69.2 years, and 61.0% of them were male. The first documented shockable rhythm on arrival of emergency medical services was 9.0%. After hospital arrival, 9.4% underwent defibrillation, 68.9% tracheal intubation, 3.7% extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 3.0% intra-aortic balloon pumping, 6.4% coronary angiography, 3.0% percutaneous coronary intervention, 6.4% targeted temperature management, and 81.1% adrenaline administration. The proportion of cerebral performance category 1 or 2 at 1 month after OHCA was 3.9% among adult patients and 5.5% among pediatric patients.
Conclusions: The special committee of the JAAM launched the JAAM-OHCA Registry in June 2014 and continuously gathers data on OHCA patients. This registry can provide valuable information to establish appropriate therapeutic strategies for OHCA patients in the near future.
