Abstract
|
|
|
In 2008, Korea CDC has introduced ‘Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survey’ to identify the incidence and survival of sudden cardiac arrests in cooperation with National Fire Agency. Since then, it has been publishing sudden cardiac arrest statistics each year.
The results from 2006 to 2016 are as follows. There have been about 30,000 cases of sudden cardiac arrests occurring annually. Standardized incidence has increased from 39.3 (per 100,000 people) in 2006 to 41.5 (per 100,000 people) in 2016. Survival of the sudden cardiac arrest patients has increased 3.3 fold from 2.3% in 2006 to 7.6% in 2016. Neurological recovery rate has increased 7 fold from 0.6% in 2006 to 4.2% in 2016. Bystander CPR rate and rate of return of spontaneous circulation before hospital arrival, which are the two indices closely related to survival result, are both on the increasing trend.
The sudden Cardiac Arrest survey has confirmed one positive and one negative aspects of the current status. On the positive side, there has been a nationwide improvement in sudden cardiac arrest survival, and on the negative side, the regional disparity widened. By feeding this statistical results back to the community, we hope to promote local community-based activities for the improved survival of cardiac arrest patients.
