This study aims to study how the effect of the location of patient collapses from cardiac arrest, in the residential and non-residential areas within Singapore, relates to certain survival outcomes.
A retrospective cohort study of data were done from the Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation Epidemiology (CARE) project. Out-of- hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) data from October 2001 to October 2004 (CARE) were used. All patients with OHCA as confirmed by the absence of a pulse, unresponsiveness and apnoea were included. All events had occurred in Singapore. Analysis was performed and expressed in terms of the odds ratio (OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI).
A total of 2375 cases were used for this analysis. Outcomes for OHCA in residential areas were poorer than in non-residential areas-1638 (68.9%) patients collapsed in residential areas, and 14 (0.9%) survived to discharge. This was significantly less than the 2.7% of patients who survived after collapsing in a non-residential area (OR 0.31 [0.16 - 0.62]). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that location alone had no independent effect on survival (adjusted OR 1.13 [0.32 - 4.05]); instead, underlying factors such as bystander CPR (OR 3.67 [1.13 - 11.97]) and initial shockable rhythms (OR 6.78 [1.95 - 23.53]) gave rise to better outcomes.
Efforts to improve survival from OHCA in residential areas should include increasing CPR by family members, and reducing ambulance response times.
本研究旨在探讨新加坡住宅和非住宅地区内,心脏骤停患者的发病位置与某些生存结果之间的关系。
对心脏骤停和复苏流行病学(CARE)项目的数据进行回顾性队列研究。使用 2001 年 10 月至 2004 年 10 月(CARE)的院外心脏骤停(OHCA)数据。所有被确认为无脉搏、无反应和无呼吸的 OHCA 患者均包括在内。所有事件均发生在新加坡。分析结果以比值比(OR)和相应的 95%置信区间(CI)表示。
共使用了 2375 例病例进行分析。住宅区内 OHCA 的结果比非住宅区差——1638 例(68.9%)患者在住宅区发病,仅有 14 例(0.9%)存活至出院。这显著低于非住宅区发病后存活的 2.7%的患者(OR 0.31 [0.16 - 0.62])。多变量逻辑回归分析表明,位置本身对生存没有独立影响(调整后的 OR 1.13 [0.32 - 4.05]);相反,旁观者 CPR(OR 3.67 [1.13 - 11.97])和初始可除颤节律(OR 6.78 [1.95 - 23.53])等基础因素导致了更好的结果。
为了提高住宅区内 OHCA 的生存率,应包括增加家庭成员的 CPR 以及减少救护车响应时间。
