Description
International variations exist in reported incidences and outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), which may lead to differences in patient care. Sweden has collected data since 1991 and Ireland initiated the collection of data in 2007. The objective was to determine differences in the incidence and outcome in OHCA between Ireland and Sweden. The study design was a retrospective cohort based on register data. The collaboration includes the working process with background, the knowledge gap and objective with the projects, data-collection, results, and the writing process of the manuscripts.
