Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Cardiac arrests in sports can involve professional athletes, amateurs, but also spectators of sports competitions. Sports facilities are the only ones for which the current law provides for the presence of an automatic external defibrillator (AED) and trained personnel, unlike other public places (schools, work, street, station, general public buildings) where it is only recommended.
Objective
To compare patient characteristics, presentation rhythm, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), AED use before emergency medical services (EMS) arrival, and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) longer than 30 seconds in the Utstein category of out–of–hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) in sports compared to events in other public places.
Materials and Methods
We considered all the OHCAs occurred from 01/01/2015 to 31/12/2020 in the provinces of Pavia, Lodi, Cremona, Mantua and Varese (2400000 inhabitants), excluding the OHCAs occurred at home, in long–term care facilities and witnessed by the EMS.
Results
During the study period, 22 OHCAs occurred in sports and 552 in other public places (school, work, street, station, public buildings). The age is similar in the two groups [sport 59 years (IQR 53.5–66.7) vs other 63 years (IQR 51–75), p = 0.2]. In sports, there is a trend in favor of shockable rhythms (13/22=59% vs 185/552=33%, p = 0.1). The percentage of CPR performed by bystanders in sports is significantly higher than in other public places (20/22=91% vs 299/552=54%, p = 0.003), as the bystander AED use (11/22=50% vs 64/552=12%, p < 0.001) and bystander AED shock (7/22=31% vs 27/552=5%, p < 0.001) before EMS arrival. A ROSC greater than 30 seconds was obtained in 59% of OHCAs in sports, with a statistically significant difference compared to events in other public places (13/22=59% vs 166/552=30%, p = 0.015).
Conclusions
During sports competitions there is a greater ability to intervene in case of cardiac arrest, which determines a higher probability of obtaining ROSC, although in terms of age or presentation rhythm the patients are comparable to OHCA victims in other places public. These results suggest the need for an AED and trained personnel in other public places as well.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pollution has been suggested as a precipitating factor for cardiovascular diseases via a series of different mechanisms. However, data about the link between the different air pollutants and the risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are limited and controversial.
Purpose
The primary aim of this study is to examine the impact of short-term exposure to particulate and gaseous pollutants on the incidence of OHCA in a vast metropolitan and rural area that encompasses four provinces of the Po Valley in Northern Italy, one of the most polluted areas in Italy and Europe due to its levels of industrialization and high population density. The secondary aim of this study is to look for a dose-effect curve, which could help predict OHCA incidence based on the concentration of pollutants in a specific area.
Methods
This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data both in the OHCA registry (Lombardia CARe) and in the database of the regional agency for environmental protection (ARPA) of the Lombardy region. All medical OHCAs and the mean daily concentration of pollutants including fine particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), benzene (C6H6), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and ozone (O3) were considered from January 1st to December 31st, 2019 in the southern part of the Lombardy region (provinces of Pavia, Lodi, Cremona and Mantua; 7863 km2; about 155ehab724.2654 inhabitants). Days were divided into high or low incidence of OHCA according to the median daily incidence. A Probit dose-response analysis and both uni- and multivariable logistic regression models were provided for each pollutant.
Results
The median daily incidence of OHCA was 0.3 cases/100,000 inhabitants. Benzene was the pollutant with the greatest difference between days at high and low incidence of OHCA [0.7 (IQR 0.4–1.2) vs 0.4 (IQR 0.3–0.7), p<0.001], whereas SO2 had the lowest and least significant difference between the two periods [3.2 (IQR 2.8–3.6) vs 3.1 (IQR 2.7–3.5), p=0.046]. O3 showed a countertrend, being significantly higher in the low-incidence period [29.9 (IQR 10.9–61.7) vs 56.1 (IQR 25.5–74.1), p<0.001] as well as temperature [10.1— (IQR 5.2–14.8) vs 15.1 (IQR 8.9–23.3), p<0.001]. By using the Probit regression analysis and after adjusting for temperature, a dose-response relationship was demonstrated for all the tested pollutants.
Conclusions
Our results clarify the link between pollutants and the acute risk of cardiac arrest suggesting the need of both improving the air quality and integrating pollution data in future models.
