Survival and neurological status after out-of-hospital XXXX in the pediatric population in Andalusia.

@entity1 @entity16 @entity1167
OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the evolution and long-term neurological status of pediatric @entity1 who survive out-of-hospital @entity1167 . Our aim is to describe long-term survival and neurological status. DESIGN: Retrospective observational study, based on the Andalusian Register of out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest. SETTING: Pre-hospital Care. @entity1 : The study included @entity1 aged 0-15 years between January 2008 and December 2012. INTERVENTIONS: @entity1 follow up. VARIABLES: Prehospital and hospital care variables were analyzed and one-year follow-up was performed, along with a specific follow-up of survivors in June 2014. RESULTS: Of 5069 @entity1 included in the register, 125 (2.5%) were aged  <=15 years. @entity1167 was witnessed in 52.8% of cases and resuscitation was performed in 65.6%. The initial rhythm was shockable in 7 (5.2%) cases. Nearly half (48.8%) the @entity1 reached the hospital alive, of whom 20% did so while receiving resuscitation maneuvers. Only 9 (7.2%) @entity1 survived to hospital discharge; 5 showed ad integrum recovery and 4 showed significant @entity16 . The 5 @entity1 with complete recovery continued their long-term situation. The remaining 4 @entity1 , although slight improvement, were maintained in situation of @entity16 . CONCLUSIONS: Survival after out-of-hospital @entity1167 in pediatric @entity1 was low. The long-term prognosis of survivors with good neurological recovery remains, although improvement in the rest was minimal.
