The health and policy implications of regional variation in incidence and outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remain to be determined. The Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium conducts clinical research to improve outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in 11 North American sites. To evaluate whether cardiac arrest incidence and outcome differ across geographic regions. Prospective multi-center observational study of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests from May 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007 followed to hospital discharge. Cases were assessed by organized emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, did not have traumatic injury, and received attempts at external defibrillation, or chest compressions; or resuscitation was not attempted. Included data were available as of June 28, 2008. Excluded was one site with incomplete case capture. Census data were used to determine rates adjusted for age and gender. Incidence rate, mortality rate, case fatality rate and survival to discharge for patients assessed by EMS, treated by EMS or with an initial rhythm of ventricular fibrillation. The total catchment population was 21.4 million. There were 20,520 arrests in 10 sites. Patients were aged 0-108 years. 61% were men. 11,898 (58.0% of total) had resuscitation attempted. 2,729 (22.9% of treated) had initial rhythm of ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia or were shockable by an automated external defibrillator. 954 (4.6%) were discharged alive. EMS-treated cardiac arrest per 100,000 population across sites was median 52.1 (interquartile range (IQR) 48.0, 70.1); survival ranged from 3.0% to 16.2%, median 8.5% (IQR 5.2%, 10.2%). Ventricular fibrillation incidence was median 12.6 (IQR 10.6, 15.2); survival ranged from 7.7% to 39.4%, median 21.8% (IQR 14.8%, 25.1%). All p-values for differences across sites were < 0.001. We observed significant and important regional differences in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidence and outcome, which require additional investigation to improve public health.
