BACKGROUND: Although schools are key places that conduct cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and public-access defibrillation (PAD) programs, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in educational institutions is poorly understood. This study describes the characteristics and outcomes of such OHCAs.Methods and Results:Data for OHCAs of any cause occurring in educational institutions between 2013 and 2015 were extracted from the All-Japan Utstein Registry. Patient characteristics and outcomes were documented. Subjects were divided into 6 age groups (0-1, 2-5, 6-11, 12-14, 15-17, and ≥18 years). Among the 783 eligible OHCA patients, most received bystander CPR regardless of age, ranging from 73.9% in those aged ≥18 years to 90.0% in those aged 2-5 years. However, the proportion receiving PAD differed by age group, ranging from 2.9% in those aged 0-1 years to 66.7% in those aged 12-14 years. The proportion of patients with 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcome differed significantly by age group, being extremely low among patients aged 0-1 years (zero for OHCA of cardiac origin), but high among patients aged 6-11, 12-14, and 15-17 years (69.2%, 77.5%, and 70.0%, respectively) for OHCA of cardiac origin. CONCLUSIONS: The outcomes of OHCA occurring in educational institutions, where PAD is available, differed significantly by age.
