What does this research mean for the field?

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidence peaks in the morning between 8:00 and 10:00h and is lower at night, with men typically affected at a younger age (60-69 years) than women (70-79 years). Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Overview

May inform morning EMS preparedness; leaves open whether circadian mechanisms warrant targeted prevention trials.

Structured PICO

Population

3,153 patients who suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the 'Eureca Serbia' registry, of which 1,385 received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (mean age 66.4, 65.5% male).

Outcome

Incidence of cardiac arrest during 24 hours and its gender and age distribution

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest exhibits a circadian rhythm with a morning peak and lowest incidence during the night, with slight variations in peak times between genders.

Limitations

Possible exclusion or misclassification of cases where symptoms occurred during sleep but were discovered late, limiting the interpretation of nighttime OHCA incidence.
