    AbstractIntroductionThe aim of the EuReCa ONE study was to determine the incidence, process, and outcome for out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) throughout Europe.MethodsThis was an international, prospective, multi-centre one-month study. Patients who suffered an OHCA during October 2014 who were attended and/or treated by an Emergency Medical Service (EMS) were eligible for inclusion in the study. Data were extracted from national, regional or local registries.ResultsData on 10,682 confirmed OHCAs from 248 regions in 27 countries, covering an estimated population of 174 million. In 7146 (66%) cases, CPR was started by a bystander or by the EMS. The incidence of CPR attempts ranged from 19.0 to 104.0 per 100,000 population per year. 1735 had ROSC on arrival at hospital (25.2%), Overall, 662/6414 (10.3%) in all cases with CPR attempted survived for at least 30 days or to hospital discharge.ConclusionThe results of EuReCa ONE highlight that OHCA is still a major public health problem accounting for a substantial number of deaths in Europe.EuReCa ONE very clearly demonstrates marked differences in the processes for data collection and reported outcomes following OHCA all over Europe. Using these data and analyses, different countries, regions, systems, and concepts can benchmark themselves and may learn from each other to further improve survival following one of our major health care events

    International audienceThe epidemiology of paediatric bone and joint infections from South America is poorly known. We herein report a retrospective study conducted in whole French Guiana from January 2010 to December 2015. Medical charts of 55 previously healthy children were analysed, identifying 27 with osteomyelitis, 22 with septic arthritis and 6 with multifocal infections and/or osteoarthritis. The male: female ratio was 2.2: 1, and the mean age was 7.5 years. Eighty percent children were >= 36 months old who had predominantly osteomyelitis related to methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (p < 0.05) in the course of neglected skin infections. Five children presented with multisystemic infections resulting in one fatality, mainly caused by S. aureus producing Panton-Valentine leucocidin (p < 0.01). In contrast, children aged 6-36 months had more likely culture-negative infections (p < 0.05), septic arthritis and mild clinical and biological features. Further prospective studies are required to better guide rational diagnostic and therapeutic strategies
