Long-term prognosis and clinical course of choking-induced cardiac arrest in patients without the return of spontaneous circulation at hospital arrival: a population-based community study from the Shizuoka Kokuho Database
Background: The risk of choking increases with aging, and the number of cases of choking-induced cardiac arrest
is increasing. However, few studies have examined the prognosis of choking-induced cardiac arrest. The aim of this
study was to reveal…

Efect of annual hospital admissions of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients on prognosis following cardiac arrest
Background: Although the prognosis of patients treated at specialized facilities has improved, the relationship
between the number of patients treated at hospitals and prognosis is controversial and lacks constancy in those with
out-of-hospital…
