Scottish Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest data linkage project: 2018-2019 results
Report presenting the latest results of the Scottish out-of-hospital cardiac arrest data linkage project.
Patient characteristics
Table 1 demonstrates the stability of baseline characteristics of patients with worked OHCA since 2011/12. The average (mean) age of patients in 2018/19 was 66 years compared with 68 years in 2011/12, while the percentage of males was 64% in 2018/19 compared to 63% in 2011/12. The percentage of OHCA occurring in each of the SIMD quintiles has also remained similar with 15% of arrests occurring in SIMD 5 (least deprived) in 2018/19 compared with 26% in SIMD 1 (most deprived).
