Incidence, characteristics and survival outcomes of out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest in children and adolescents between 1997 and 2014 in Perth, Western Australia

Background: The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). Methods: The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2022 Statistical Update is the product of a full year’s worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year’s edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population and an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, vascular contributions to brain health, and the global burden of cardiovascular disease and healthy life expectancy. Results: Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. Conclusions: The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

“…However, more contemporary data now raise the possibility of a potential increase in recent years [4,6,36]. Similarly, the incidence of OOHCA <18 years of age has been reported to have decreased from 14.1 (1997-2000) to 8.7 (2011-2014) per 100,000 in Perth, Western Australia [11]. Sudden cardiac death rates have also been observed to have declined elsewhere, including in Sweden, Netherlands, and Japan [37][38][39].…”

“…Other reports in Australia have estimated an incidence of all SCD ranging from 34.6 to 89.1 per 100,000 [5][6][7][8][9]. Sudden cardiac death figures in younger age groups vary from 1.1 to 8.7 per 100,000 [10][11][12], with corresponding estimates in adults over 18 years of age ranging from 102.0 to 147.8 per 100,000 [13,14]. A few studies [15][16][17] have suggested that the incidence of EMS-treated OOHCA is not dissimilar in New Zealand to Australia [15], and the AusROC Epistry demonstrated a similar incidence of all EMS-attended OOHCAs of 105.5 per 100,000 [3].…”

Despite advancements in prevention and treatment, sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a leading cause of mortality and is responsible for approximately half of all deaths from cardiovascular disease. Outcomes continue to remain poor following a sudden cardiac arrest, with most individuals not surviving. Although coronary heart disease remains the dominant underlying condition, our understanding of SCD is improving through greater knowledge of clinical risk factors, cardiomyopathies, and primary arrhythmic disorders. However, despite a growing wealth of information from studies in North America, Europe, and Japan, data from other global regions (and particularly from low-and middle-income countries) remains scarce.

“…Survival among infants has been documented between 1.4% and 1.7% . In contrast, overall survival in children of all age groups is generally slightly higher, although varying widely (2.0–12.1%) with median of 8% . In comparison, in‐hospital arrests have a better outcome with 48.5–62% achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and 15.4–48.7% surviving to discharge …”

Incidence, characteristics and survival outcomes of out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest in children and adolescents between 1997 and 2014 in Perth, Western Australia

Abstract: The incidence of paediatric OHCA decreased over time, but survival remained poor. Strategies to strengthen the chain of survival for paediatric OHCA need to be considered.
