Factors associated with the clinical outcomes of adult cardiac and non-cardiac origin cardiac arrest in emergency departments: a nationwide retrospective cohort study from China / 世界急诊医学杂志（英文）

ABSTRACT

@#Cardiac arrest (CA) is one of the most common causes of death.[1-3] Despite extensive studies on the management of CA, the global survival rate in adults is only approximately 7%, and 30-day survival is even less than 2% in China.[4] Some studies have shown that CA patients of cardiac and non-cardiac origin may differ in underlying diseases, clinical manifestations, and prognosis, which leads to differences in terms of the pathophysiological mechanism and treatment measure.[5,6] However, little is known about the risk factors in relation to the prognosis of CA across arrest etiologies.
