Outline of Final Research Achievements

As this study was planned initially, we are successfully registered 10 small/middle-sized hospitals and 15 large-sized hospitals to RRS online registry. 817 cases were registered in 1 year and 1060 cases were also registered by the end of March. Hospital size were classified into 4 groups: small-sized hospitals (<200 beds) 、middle-sized (200-499 beds）、large-sized hospitals (500-999 beds), super large-sized hospitals (=>1000 beds).
Characteristics of each sized hospitals were analyzed. The results of this study found that the larger hospital bed size, younger and more critical conditions for patients. The more cases with CPA were called through RRS in large/super large-sized hospitals.
