STRUCTURE OF THE SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST SURVEY

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) performs various tasks related to public health and epidemiology, including the planning and administration of medical record surveys, assurance of data quality, standardization of survey questions and guidelines, analysis of results, production of main indices, and publication of statistics. The National Cardiac Arrest Survey and Monitoring Advisory Committee comprises specialists in related departments and academic institutions. This committee provides technical assistance and advice regarding the maintenance of a survey-monitoring system, development of questionnaires, and review and analysis of results with the intent to support policy development and stimulate research. These works are conducted in cooperation with the National Fire Agency, 17 “Si (cities)-Do (provinces)” Fire and Disaster Headquarter centers, and approximately 600 medical institutions. From the rescue activity records of the “Si–Do” Fire and Disaster Headquarters, which are provided by the National Fire Agency, the KCDC selects cases involving sudden cardiac arrest, standardizes the names of hospitals to which patients are transferred, and establishes a surveillance database. Subsequently, dedicated survey personnel employed by the KCDC visit approximately 600 hospitals identified as receiving transferred patients and survey the pertinent medical records. All involved hospitals cooperate actively with this work (Fig. 1).

INCIDENCE OF SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST AND SURVIVAL STATUS

The number of cases of sudden cardiac arrest increased by 1.5-fold from 19,480 in 2006 to 29,832 in 2016, while the standardized incidence rate increased by 1.1-fold from 39.3 (per 100,000 population) to 41.5 during the same period (Fig. 2). The demographic features of cardiac arrest patients also changed with the overall demographic structure during the 11-year study period, as demonstrated by the sharp increase in the proportion of elderly patients (aged ≥70 years) from 38.7% in 2006 to 49.5% in 2016. Similarly, the proportion of arrests attributed to “disease” increased. The rates of survival and neurological recovery increased each year, with the former increasing by 3.3-fold from 2.3% in 2006 to 7.6% in 2016 (Fig. 3). Regarding the latter, the proportion of patients who neurologically recovered sufficiently to achieve independence with tasks of daily living increased by 7-fold, from 0.6% in 2006 to 4.2% in 2016. Improved survival and neurological recovery also rely on the rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by non-medical personnel (i.e., a layperson). Notably, this rate increased significantly from 1.9% in 2008 to 16.8% in 2016, and the annual trend continues to increase (Fig. 4). Furthermore, the rate of return of spontaneous circulation before hospital arrival, an indicator of the paramedics’ capability, also increased by 7.7-fold from 0.9% in 2006 to 6.9% in 2016.

STATUS OF SUDDEN CARDIAC ARRESTS IN EACH REGION

Large disparities in the values of major indices associated with sudden cardiac arrest were observed among regions. Although the underlying cause remains unclear, the tendency of these disparities to increase highlights the need to produce relevant indices, and the data needs to be provided to the communities for local cooperation in the developement and implementation of effective policies. Notably, increases in regional disparities were observed both in the rate of CPR performed by a layperson and the rate of return of spontaneous circulation before hospital arrival, and trends toward increasing regional disparities were observed in the rates of survival and neurological recovery, an indicator of treatment results. These disparities also increased with respect to the type of city. For example, Seoul, which is unique among the various city types, exhibited better overall performances and magnitudes of improvement with respect to survival and neurological recovery, compared to other city types (Tables 1, 2).

The timely administration of treatment is crucial during a sudden cardiac arrest, and patient prognosis improves only in the presence of effective and organic flow between different strata (i.e., regional society, emergency response, and hospital stages). Therefore, the survival rate following sudden cardiac arrest can be considered an indicator of a nation’s entire emergency medical system. The introduction of a sudden cardiac arrest survey program in 2008 enabled the objective assessment of issues related to sudden cardiac arrest and the generation of comparable regional statistics and individualized evidence-based policies. From this, we could confirm that overall survival of sudden cardiac arrests improved nationwide while regional disparities widened.

According to a recent study, the survival rate among cases of sudden cardiac arrest increased by 1.4-fold as the proportion of the population educated in CPR increased by 10% [1]. However, a community health survey (citizen health statistics) conducted annually by 254 community health centers as stated by community health law found that although the proportion of the overall population educated in CPR improved, regional disparities were apparent [2]. Accordingly, central and local governments should focus not only on improving overall survival nationwide, but should also reinforce policies that aim to reduce these widening gaps. Finally, we hope that the regional statistics yielded by the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survey will promote initiatives aimed at improving the survival of community-dwelling patients who experience sudden cardiac arrest.
