The aim of this study is to define the incidence of OHCA in France and to compare this to other neighbouring countries. Data were extracted from the French OHCA registry. Only exhaustive centres during the period from January 1, 2013, to September 30, 2014 were included. All patients were included, regardless of their age and cause of OHCA. The participating centres covered about 10% of the French population. The study involved 6918 OHCA. The median age was 68 years, with 63% of males. Paediatric population (<15years) represented 1.8%. The global incidence of OHCA was 61.5 per 100,000 inhabitants per year in the total population corresponding to approximately 46,000 OHCA per year. In the adult population, we found an incidence of 75.3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year. In adults, the incidences were 100.3 and 52.7 in males and females, respectively. Most (75%) OHCA occurred at home and were due to medical causes (88%). Half of medical OHCA had cardiovascular causes. Survival rates at 30 days was 4.9% [4.4; 5.4] and increased to 10.4% [9.1; 11.7] when resuscitation was immediately performed by bystander at patient's collapse. The incidence and survival at 30 days of OHCA in France appeared similar to that reported in other European countries. Compared to other causes of deaths in France, OHCA is one of the most frequent causes, regardless of the initial pathology.Show less >
