Article Synopsis
- Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a common and deadly event in Denmark, with around 5000 cases annually, and survival within 30 days is linked to symptoms experienced before the event.
- The study focused on OHCAs witnessed by emergency medical services in Denmark from 2016-2018, analyzing data to assess the survival odds related to prodromal complaints while considering factors like age and sex.
- Results indicated that symptoms like chest pain and heart palpitations significantly improved survival odds, whereas signs of unresponsiveness or bluish skin reduced the likelihood of surviving 30 days post-arrest.
