Regional Intensity of Outpatient Cardiovascular Testing and Cardiac-Origin Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest ― A 10-Year Nationwide Ecological Study Using the All-Japan Utstein Registry ―
Background: Cardiac-origin out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CO-OHCA) remains a public health challenge, and variations in its incidence may reflect differences in cardiovascular care. We investigated whether the intensity of regional outpatient cardiovascular diagnostic testing was associated with the CO-OHCA incidence among adults aged 40–74 years in Japan.
