Overview
Over the last three decades, the incidence of PEA has increased in parallel to a decrease in the incidence of VF and VT.[1] There is a slight female preponderance of PEA. In addition, PEA is associated with increased age and black race.[2][3]
Epidemiology and Demographics
- The incidence of SCA ranges between 300,000 to 370,000 cases per year, 50% of which are due to PEA.[1]
- PEA accounts for approximately 20% of out-hospital cardiac arrests and for a third of the in-hospital cardiac arrests.[4] PEA is responsible for 10% of in-hospital deaths.[5]
- The decrease in the prevalence of VF and VT has been accompanied by a parallel relative increase in the incidence of PEA among patients with SCA.[1] In fact, following adequate management of VF and VT, the prevalence of VT/VF has dropped by 20% while the prevalence of PEA increased by 11% between 1979 and 2000.[6]
- There is a slight female preponderance of PEA. In addition, PEA is associated with increased age and black race.[2][3]
