==Epidemiology==
In a 1990s study from the UK, resuscitation for cardiac arrest was attempted in 10,081 patients. Of these only 1476 (14.6%) survived to be admitted to the hospital <ref name="pmid15333549">{{cite journal |author=Lyon RM, Cobbe SM, Bradley JM, Grubb NR |title=Surviving out of hospital cardiac arrest at home: a postcode lottery? |journal=Emerg Med J |volume=21 |issue=5 |pages=619–24 |year=2004 |month=September |pmid=15333549 |pmc=1726412 |doi=10.1136/emj.2003.010363 |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid8664715">{{cite journal |author=Cobbe SM, Dalziel K, Ford I, Marsden AK |title=Survival of 1476 patients initially resuscitated from out of hospital cardiac arrest |journal=BMJ |volume=312 |issue=7047 |pages=1633–7 |year=1996 |month=June |pmid=8664715 |pmc=2351362 |doi= |url=http://bmj.com/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=8664715}}</ref>. Of these small number of patients who survived to admission, 59.3% died during that admission, half of these within the first 24 hours. 46.1% survived to hospital discharge (this is 6.75% of those who had been resuscitated by ambulance staff).  Of those who were successfully discharged from hospital, 70% were still alive 4 years after their discharge.
 
In a review of 68 studies through 1997, the incidence of survival to discharge was higher at 14% with a wide range of 0-28%.<ref name="pmid9167565">{{cite journal |author=Ballew KA |title=Cardiopulmonary resuscitation |journal=BMJ |volume=314 |issue=7092 |pages=1462–5 |year=1997 |month=May |pmid=9167565 |pmc=2126720 |doi= |url=http://bmj.com/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=9167565}}</ref>
