BACKGROUND Mortality after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest from ventricular fibrillation is high. Programs focusing on early defibrillation have improved the rate of survival to hospital discharge. We conducted a population-based analysis of the long-term outcome and quality of life of survivors. METHODS All patients who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between November 1990 and January 2001 who received early defibrillation for ventricular fibrillation in Olmsted County, Minnesota, were…

TLDR
The ICD insertion rate among survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was determined to be low and it is unclear whether this low usage rate reflects referral bias, selection bias by electrophysiologists, supply constraint or patient preference.

TLDR
The mortality of OHCA patients discharged alive from the hospital is higher than the Italian standard population, also considering those with the most favorable OHCA characteristics and those discharged with good neurological outcome.
Outcomes and in-hospital treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation by early defibrillation.
TLDR
The VF OHCA survival rate is high in the setting of rapid defibrillation, with 40% of patients being discharged from the hospital and more patients receiving antiarrhythmic therapy, in particular ICD implantation, after hospital admission.

TLDR
Broadening the focus of the chain of survival to include in-hospital and long-term care will further improve favorable outcomes achieved in an early defibrillation program.

TLDR
Although overall survival was poor, most survivors had acceptable health-related quality of life, and concerns about poorquality of life are not a valid reason to abandon efforts to improve the health care system's response to victims of sudden cardiac arrest.

TLDR
Examination of survival among arrests occurring after emergency medical services arrival suggests that other features may predispose residents of large cities to higher cardiac arrest mortality than individuals living in more suburban or rural settings.

TLDR
The enhanced survival after cardiac arrest is encouraging, and further trials of defibrillation by emergency medical technicians are warranted.
