Abstract
Background: The incidence of out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is
approximately 20 to 140 per 100.000 inhabitants. International registries, based
on Utstein criteria have allowed standardized reporting of OHCA profiles and
outcomes in different countries. We proposed to create a local OHCA registry.
Aim: To assess the quality of the information about OHCA currently recorded
in medical records according to Utstein guidelines. Material and Methods: A
retrospective analysis of medical records of patients arriving in the emergency
room of a public hospital with OHCA during a 3-year period. Data regarding
the patient characteristics, event and outcomes were analyzed. Results: During
the revision period, 317 patients arrived with an OHCA. None of the medical
records had complete data on items that are considered a minimum requirement
by Utstein guidelines. Mean age of patients was 63 years old, 60% were men,
the most common arrest rhythm was asystole (43%) and 8% of patients were
discharged alive. Conclusions: Data recorded in medical records is insufficient
to inform the profile of OHCA. A prospective registry is currently being imple-
mented based on the information provided by this study. This registry should
optimize reporting and data analysis.
