BACKGROUND: The long-terms outcomes of out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors are not well known.

METHODS: Using the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) registry, linked to Office for National Statistics (ONS) mortality data, we analysed 661 326 England, Wales and Northern-Ireland AMI patients; 14 127 (2%) suffered OHCA and survived beyond thirty-days of hospitalisation. Patients dying within thirty-days of admission were excluded. Mean follow-up for patients included was 1 500 days. Cox regression models were fitted, adjusting for demographics and management strategy.

RESULTS: OHCA survivors were younger (in years) (64 (interquartile range [IQR] 54-72) vs. 70 (IQR 59-80), P < 0.001), more often underwent invasive coronary angiography (88% vs. 71%, P < 0.001) and percutaneous coronary intervention (72% vs. 45%, P < 0.001). Overall, risk of mortality for OHCA patients that survived past 30-days was lower than patients that did not suffer cardiac arrest (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.91; 95% CI; 0.87-0.95, P < 0.001). 'Excellent care' according to the mean opportunity-based quality indicator (OBQI) score compared to 'Poor care', predicted reduced risk of long-term mortality post OHCA, for all-patients (HR: 0.77, CI; 0.76-0.78, P < 0.001), more for STEMI patients (HR: 0.73, CI; 0.71-0.75, P < 0.001), but less significantly in NSTEMI patients (HR: 0.79, CI; 0.78-0.81, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients remain at significant risk of mortality in-hospital. However, if surviving over thirty-days post arrest, OHCA survivors have good longer-term survival up to ten-years compared to the general AMI population. Higher quality inpatient care appears to improve long-term survival in all OHCA patients, more so in STEMI.
