Observational Study
Trends in community response and long term outcomes from paediatric cardiac arrest: A retrospective observational study.
This study aimed to investigate trends over time in pre-hospital factors for pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (pOHCA) and long-term neurological and neuropsychological outcomes. These have not been described before in large populations. ⋯ Long-term favorable neurological outcome, assessed at a median 2.5 years follow-up, improved significantly over the study period. Total IQ scores did not significantly change over time. Furthermore, AED use (OR 1.21, 95%CI 1.10-1.33) and shockable rhythms among adolescents (OR1.15, 95%CI 1.02-1.29) increased over time.

Cardiac arrest leaves witnesses, survivors, and their relatives with a multitude of questions. When a young or a public figure is affected, interest around cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) increases. ChatGPT allows everyone to obtain human-like responses on any topic. Due to the risks of accessing incorrect information, we assessed ChatGPT accuracy in answering laypeople questions about cardiac arrest and CPR. ⋯ ChatGPT provided largely accurate, relevant, and comprehensive answers to questions about cardiac arrest commonly asked by survivors, their relatives, and lay rescuers, except CPR-related answers that received the lowest scores. Large language model will play a significant role in the future and healthcare-related content generated should be monitored.
