Identification of Causes and Risk Factors for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest through Development of Prediction Model and Novel Biomarkers
Study Objectives:
1. To identify causes and risk factors of OHCA incidence that are associated with chronic diseases and health behaviors 2. To identify high risk population for OHCA incidence through development of a prediction model 3. To develop novel biomarkers associated with OHCA incidence, survival, and disabilities
19 to 79 years old
Out-of-hospital-cardiac arrest providing resuscitation at the site and visiting the emergency department of the participating hospital or transporting from another hospital emergency room (EMS-treated OHCA)
The cardiac arrest event must not have been predicted for 24 hours before the incident
People who do not consent to personal information and blood supply for research
Trauma, submersion, poisoning, hanging, suffocation, or other causes of external causes directly contribute to the cardiac arrest
Patients with a terminal condition known to have no further treatment plans due to malignancy, neurological disease, respiratory disease, rheumatic disease, hematologic disease, renal disease or infectious disease. The terminal condition had to be checked by a doctor or recorded in medical records.
"Do not have a resuscitation" card or record issued by a doctor.
* Cases will be consecutive adult patients with EMS-treated OHCA and transport to the 14 emergency departments of participating hospitals. * Matched community-based controls (2:1 matching) will be selected from two health screening centers. Controls are those who visit the participating health screening centers for their health screening program.
