WhatisCARES?

In2004,theCentersforDiseaseControlandPrevention(CDC)establishedtheCardiacArrestRegistrytoEnhanceSurvival(CARES)incollaborationwiththeDepartmentofEmergencyMedicineattheEmoryUniversitySchoolofMedicine.CARESwasdevelopedtohelpcommunitiesdeterminestandardoutcomemeasuresforout-of-hospitalcardiacarrest(OHCA),bylinkingthethreesourcesofinformationthatdefinethecontinuumofemergencycardiaccare:911dispatchcenters,emergencymedicalservices(EMS)providers,andreceivinghospitals.ParticipatingEMSsystemscancomparetheirperformancetode-identifiedaggregatestatistics,allowingforlongitudinalbenchmarkingcapabilityatthelocal,regional,andnationallevel.

CARESbegandatacollectioninAtlantain2005.Theprogramhassinceexpandedtoinclude20state-basedregistries(Alaska,California,Delaware,Hawaii,Illinois,Maine,Maryland,Michigan,Minnesota,Montana,Nebraska,NewHampshire,NorthCarolina,NorthDakota,Oregon,Pennsylvania,SouthCarolina,Utah,Vermont,andWashington)withmorethan60communitysitesin22additionalstates,representingacatchmentareaofapproximately107millionpeopleor33%oftheUSpopulation.Morethan1,400EMSagenciesandover1,800hospitalsparticipatenationwide.

WhoownsCARESdata?

CARESisasecureandconfidentialdatamanagementsystemthatallowsEMSagenciesandhospitalstomonitortheirperformanceandcomparethemselvesagainststateandnationalbenchmarks.LocalEMSagenciesandhospitalshaveownershipoftheirowndata.CARESiscommittedtomaintainingtheconfidentialityofEMSagencyandhospitaldata;therefore,alldataissharedinade-identified,aggregateformat.Fieldsthatcouldidentifyapatient,EMSagency,orhospitalareremovedfromresearchdatasets,andpublicationsshallnotseparatelyidentifyparticipatingEMSagencies,hospitals,ortheircontributeddata.Datasharingapplicationsandagreementsareproposal-specificandlimitedtoeachindividualproject.

WhatisaCAREScase?

EMSagenciesareinstructedtoincludeallout-of-hospitalcardiacarrests(OHCAs)ofnon-traumaticetiologywherethepatient:1)receivesresuscitativeeffortsfromFirstRespondersorEMS,or2)isdefibrillatedpriortoEMSarrival.CARESincludesOHCApatientsofallages.

HowisCARESdatacollected?

TheCARESsoftware(https://mycares.net),developedandmaintainedbyPhysio-Control,Inc.,linksthreesourcestodescribeeachOHCAevent:1)911callcenterdata,2)EMSdata,and3)hospitaldata.TheregistryevaluatesOHCAeventsofnon-traumaticetiologythatinvolvepersonswhoreceivedresuscitativeefforts,includingCPRand/ordefibrillation.EMSinitiatesaCARESrecordandcansubmitdataintwoways:usingadata-entryformontheCARESwebsite,orviauploadfromanagency’selectronicpatient-carerecord(ePCR)system.Whenthepatientsurvivestothehospitalwithongoingresuscitation,CARESrequestsoutcomedatafromtherecievingfacility.

WhatkindofdatadoesCAREScollect?

DatacollectionwithinCARESisbasedontheUtstein-styledefinitions–astandardizedtemplateofuniformreportingguidelinesforclinicalvariablesandpatientoutcomesthatwasdevelopedbyinternationalresuscitationexperts1.

From2005-2012,onlypatientswithapresumedcardiacetiologywereincludedinCARES.However,inalignmentwiththeUtsteinguidelinesandILCORrecommendation,theregistry’sinclusioncriteriaweremodifiedinJanuary2013toincludeallpatientswithnon-traumaticOHCA.Assuch,dataanalysisisrestrictedtothe2013-2016dataset,whichincludesmorethan193,000records.

MandatorydataelementscollectedfromEMSprovidersincludedemographics(i.e.name,age,dateofbirth,incidentaddress,sex,andrace/ethnicity),arrest-specificdata(i.e.locationtypeofarrest,witnessstatus,andpresumedetiology),andresuscitation-specificdata(i.e.informationregardingCPRinitiationand/orAEDapplication,defibrillation,initialarrestrhythm,returnofspontaneouscirculation[ROSC],fieldhypothermia,andpre-hospitalsurvivalstatus).

EMSprovidersarealsoabletoenteranumberofoptionalelements,whichfurtherdetailarrestinterventions(i.e.usageofmechanicalCPRdevice,ITD,12Lead,automatedCPRfeedbackdevice,andadvancedairway;administrationofdrugs;anddiagnosisofSTEMI).

TheCARESformalsoincludesanumberofoptionaltimeelements,includingestimatedtimeofarrest,defibrillatoryshock,andinitialCPR.Supplementaldataelementscollectedfromthe911callcentersincludethetimethateach911callwasreceived,thetimeofdispatchforbothfirstresponderandEMSproviders,andarrivaltimeatthescene.

Dataelementscollectedfromreceivinghospitalsincludeemergencydepartmentoutcome,provisionoftherapeutichypothermia,hospitaloutcome,dischargelocation,andneurologicaloutcomeatdischarge(usingtheCerebralPerformanceCategories[CPC]Scale).Receivingfacilitiesmayalsocompleteoptionalelementsoutlininghospitalprocedures,includingcoronaryangiography,CABG,andstentorICDplacement.

TheCARESdatasetisgeocodedonanannualbasis,usingCentrusDesktopGeocoder,andlinkedtoanumberofcensus-tractlevelvariablesincluding:medianhouseholdincome,medianage,race,unemploymentrate,andeducationalattainment.
