Cardiac arrest rates decreased progressively from 0.78 per 1000 (95% confidence interval, 0.50-1.16) to 0.25 per 1000 (95% confidence interval, 0.15-0.39, p < .001), and hospital mortality from 0.58 per 1000 (95% confidence interval, 0.35-0.92) to 0.30 per 1000 (95% confidence interval,...
1-year mortalityAIM:Worldwide, cardiac arrest (CA) remains a major cause of death. Most post-CA patients are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of this study is to describe mortality rates and possible changes in mortality rates in patients with CA admitted to the ICU in...

Profile 2 was associated with a significantly higher risk of death (OR: 2.09; 95% CI: 1.30 to 3.38) whilst the mortality rates of Profiles 3 was not significantly different from Profile 1 in multivariable model. LPA using routinely collected clinical data could identify three distinct sub...
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of death and millions of people each year die from OHCA. In Korea, the number of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests is increasing every year with increases in population age and cardiovascular diseases1. The incidence rate of ...
Streamlined Procedure: The device can be implanted rapidly without the use of echocardiography or general anesthesia, significantly improving success rates and reducing patient recovery time. The round was led by RA Capital Management, with new investment from the European Investment Committee (EIC). Re...
In prospective trials, CCTA was associated with increased rates of revascularization. A meta-analysis by Hulten et al looking at CCTA in the ED for acute chest pain patients demonstrated a cost savings in 3 of the 4 large randomized control trials (RCTs) and shorter hospital lengths of stay ...
