Abstract

In 2008, in cooperation with the Korean National Fire Agency (NFA), the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) launched the ‘Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Survey’ to measure the incidence and survival rate of SCAs. Subsequently, the KCDC published annual SCA statistics. This report found that from 2006 to 2018 there were, on average, 30,000 cases of SCAs per year. This report’s findings further indicated that the standardized incidence (per 100,000 people) increased from 39.3 in 2006 to 39.7 in 2018; the survival of SCA patients increased 3.7 fold from 2.3% in 2006 to 8.6% in 2018; the neurological recovery rate increased 8.5 fold from 0.6% in 2006 to 5.1% in 2018; and bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rates and the rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) before hospital arrival, two indices closely related to survival rates, increased. Lastly, this report found that the annual SCA survey highlighted both positive and negative aspects of the current status of SCA in Korea. On the positive side, there was a nationwide improvement in SCA survival, and on the negative side, regional disparity widened. Consequently, the aim of this report was to promote local community-based activities for the improved survival of SCA patients.
