Abstract
Our study, the largest of its kind, has 4 main findings. Firstly, between 1993 and 2004, there was a significant and steady decline in admission rates after community cardiac arrest. Second, there was no change in the in-hospital survival rates. Thirdly, invasive management of coronary artery disease was associated with a greatly improved chance of survival, and finally, there were important regional variations in survival rates.
