Etiology, Incidence and Survival of Pediatric Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrests: a Four-year Danish Analysis

ROSC will be defined as cases achieving ROSC anytime between recognition of the event and termination (defined as either hospital admission og declaration of death by EMS-personnel).

The investigators will define the case state on arrival at the hospital as either; ROSC or ongoing CPR.

Survival will be defined as ROSC at the time of hospital admission. Further the investigators will include rates for 30-day survival derived with data from the National Patient Registry.

Presumed etiology will be categorized as either reversible (including a subcategorization into the 4H's and 4T's) and non-reversible. Further, the investigators aim to categorise the preceding event, stratifying this into either; a medical cause, trauma, drug overdose, drowning, asphyxia, sports-related or suicide.

The investigators aim to describe the airway maneuvers performed on each case by listing the use of nasopharyngeal airways, oropharyngeal airways, endo-tracheal intubation, supraglottic airways and isolated bag-valve-mask ventilation.

This will include a binary (yes/no) variable based upon the potential administration of epinephrine for each case.

Defibrillation will include defibrillation by bystanders and/or EMS personnel, including the use of publicly available AEDs that have analyzed the rhythm without delivering shocks.

The initial rhythm will be defined as the first rhythm observed by EMS personnel, and categorized as either shockable, non-shockable (asystole), non-shockable (other) and undetermined.
