Low rural SCD survival signals need for better strategies; leaves open optimal interventions in similar populations.
Byrne et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death (n=212). Rural population residence was evaluated on Incidence rate of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death. The incidence rate of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death in a rural population in the West of Ireland was 51.2 per 100,000 per year, with a survival to discharge rate of 3.8%.
