Introduction: This study aimed to i) identify the care needs of families experiencing cardiac arrest; and ii) co-identify strategies for meeting the identified care needs. Cardiac arrest survivors and family members (of survivors and non-survivors) were engaged as "experience experts," collaborators and co-researchers in this study.
Methods: A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews of cardiac arrest survivors and family members was conducted.
Introduction: Cardiac arrest care systems are being designed and implemented to address patients', family members', and survivors' care needs. We conducted a systematic review and a meta-synthesis to understand family experiences and care needs during cardiac arrest care to create treatment recommendations.
Methods: We searched eight electronic databases to identify articles.
Background And Aims: Reports of allele frequencies encoding ion channel, or their interacting proteins associated with sudden cardiac death among different ethnic groups have been inconsistent. Here, we aimed to characterize the distribution of these genes and their alleles among various ethnicities through meta-analysis.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the mean allele frequencies of channelopathy genes , and among the Black, Caucasian, Asian, and Hispanic ethnicities.
