Epidemiology and Demographics
PEA accounts for approximately 20% of out of hospital cardiac arrests, and accounts for about a third of inhospital cardiac arrests. [1] PEA is responsible for 10% of in-hospital deaths.[2]
Age
Patients with PEA tend to be older.
Gender
There is a slight female preponderance of PEA. It is unclear if this is mediated by a direct influence of gender on the pathophysiology, or if female gender is a confounder.
