Global incidences of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and survival rates: Systematic review of 67 prospective studies.

TLDR
The weighted incidence estimate was significantly higher in studies including adults than in those including adults and paediatrics for treated OHCAs, and the percentage of VF and survival to discharge rates were lower in Asia than in Europe, North America, Asia, or Australia.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the 1990s: A population-based study in the Maastricht area on incidence, characteristics and survival

TL;DR: Sudden cardiac arrest usually occurs at home, and the survival of those with a witnessed SCA at home was low compared with that outside the home, indicating the necessity of optimizing out-of-hospital resuscitation, especially in the at-home situation.

Incidence of EMS-treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Europe

TL;DR: A representative European incidence and survival from cardiac arrest in all-rhythms and in ventricular fibrillation treated by the emergency medical services (EMS) is determined and provides a framework to assess opportunities and limitations of EMS care with regard to the public health burden of cardiac Arrest in Europe.

Estimating Effectiveness of Cardiac Arrest Interventions A Logistic Regression Survival Model

TL;DR: A simple, generalizable predictive model for survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation is developed and can be generalized to other US populations and used to project the local effectiveness of interventions to improve cardiac arrest survival.
