Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Hong Kong: Registry-Based Study From 2017 to 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected all components of systems of care related to OHCA, disrupting the chain of survival. A recent review demonstrated an increase of approximately 120% in the incidence of OHCA and a 65% decrease in OHCA-related survival to hospital discharge during the pandemic, compared to the prepandemic period [2].

Association of Socioeconomic Status With Long-Term Outcome in Survivors After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Nationwide Population-Based Longitudinal Study

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death worldwide [1,2]. With an annual incidence among adults of 55 per 100,000 people worldwide, OHCA is a major global health concern [3,4]. Despite efforts to resuscitate people who have had cardiac arrest in communities and medical facilities, the poor prognosis for OHCA survival imposes an enormous burden on public health [2,5].
