An observational study in Cardiac Death, Cardiac Arrest and Cardiac Arrhythmia, sponsored by Ostfold University College. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-08-05.

The survival after intrahospital cardiac arrest has been reported to 15%. In Norway this varies between 16 and 23%.). Many factors are associated with survival after cardiac arrest, both intra- and prehospital. Recent studies have not included information about individual patient factors and the outcome after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In the current hospital, we are able to record patient specific information related to a cardiac arrest/CPR situation, and thereby be able to assess patient-related factors associated with both detection, treatment and outcome of CPR.
Several factors have been associated with survival, e.g. to monitor hands-off time(Odds ratio, OR, for 2.48, 95% KI 1.11-5.56, p=.03), monthly assessment of all cardiac arrest cases (OR 6.9, 95% KI 1.41-33.92), and includin av local coordinator for CPR (OR 2.93, 95% KI 1.08-7.94, p=.03), as well as depth of compressions. Nevertheless, information about cardiac arrests and CPR have not been assessed in relation to patient specific information. In the current hospital, we are able to record the CPR sequence, and see this in relation to other patient- and case- specific information such as initial cardiac rythm, time to first compression, hands-off time, quality of CPR, and factors affecting the treatment and outcome.
The hospital has 71 registered defibrillators used in CPR. The current study will both gather retrospective data- not seen in relation to patient specific information, and prospective data related to specific patients.
456 studies on the registry are indexed under Death; 86 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 300 is below the median of 400 across 236 observational studies indexed under Death.

Start is estimated for Jan 2026; primary completion for Dec 2027, 23 months later.
Of 84 non-industry observational studies under Death, half reached primary completion within 60 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 245. This study's planned 23 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 87 studies reached it within 60 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 245.
