Study Data from Kokushikan University Update Understanding of Heart Attack (Overview and future prospects of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registries in Japan).

A recent study from Kokushikan University in Japan explores the use of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) registries to improve patient outcomes. The researchers reviewed several OHCA registries in Japan, including the All-Japan Utstein registry, the Utstein Osaka Project, the SOS-KANTO study, the JAAM-OHCA study, and the SAVE-J II study. Each registry has its own strengths and challenges but has contributed to the improvement of emergency medical service systems and the field of resuscitation science. These registries are expected to continue enhancing emergency medical systems and improving outcomes for patients with OHCA. [Extracted from the article]
