What is Long-term Mortality, Readmission, and Resource Utilization Among Hospital Survivors of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest about?
Background Among patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), the influence of pre- and in-hospital factors on long-term survival, readmission, and resource utilization is ill-defined, mainly related to challenges combining disparate data sources. Methods Adult nontraumatic OHCA from the British Columbia Cardiac Arrest Registry (January 2009 to December 2016) were linked to provincial datasets comprising comorbidities, medications, cardiac procedures, mortality, and hospital admission and discharge. Among hospital-discharge survivors, the 3-year end point of mortality or mortality and all-cause readmission was examined with the use of the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox regression model for predictors. The use of publicly funded home care and community services within 1 year after discharge also was evaluated. Results Of the 10,674 linked, emergency medical services–treated adult OHCAs, 3230 were admitted to hospital and 1325 survived to hospital discharge. At 3 years after discharge, the estimated Kaplan-Meier survival rate was 84.1% (95% CI 81.7%-86.1%) and freedom from death or all-cause readmission was 31.8% (29.0%-34.7%). After exclusions, 26.6% (n = 315/1186
