Utstein Style

Utstein Style

Utstein Style (pronunciation: /ˈʊt.staɪn/; etymology: Named after Utstein Abbey in Norway where the first consensus conference was held) is a set of internationally agreed upon guidelines for reporting data from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest research.

History

The Utstein Style was first developed in 1991 during a consensus conference held at Utstein Abbey, Norway. The aim was to standardize the data collected from cardiac arrest research to allow for better comparison and collaboration between different studies and countries. The guidelines have been revised several times, most recently in 2015.

Guidelines

The Utstein Style guidelines cover several key areas of cardiac arrest research, including:

• Patient Information: This includes demographic information, medical history, and details of the cardiac arrest event.
• Response Information: This includes details about the emergency response, such as response times and actions taken.
• Outcome Measures: This includes measures of patient outcome, such as survival rates and neurological status.

Use

The Utstein Style is widely used in cardiac arrest research. It allows for standardized reporting of data, making it easier to compare results between different studies and to pool data for meta-analyses.
