Epidemiology and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests at sport and recreational events in England, 2015–2022
OHCA at sports/recreational events are rare but show better outcomes than the general population, driven by higher rates of witnessed arrests, bystander interventions and initial shockable rhythms. Findings underscore the importance of strengthening the chain of survival through early recognition, CPR training, and AED.
