People who suffer heart attacks or cardiac arrests in the vicinity of an
ongoing major marathon are more likely to die within a month due to delays
in transportation to nearby hospitals, according to newly published
research from Harvard Medical School.
.
The delays, the researchers say, likely stem from widespread street
closures during major races that can hamper transportation in an
emergency.
.
Writing in the April 13 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, the
study authors call for citywide strategies that ensure unhampered access
for medical crews in a certain radius of major races and other large
public gatherings, such as sporting events or parades.
Previous studies have examined death rates among marathon runners to
assess the cardiac risks of endurance training, but this is believed to be
the first study to analyze the impact of such races on those living nearby
due to causes that have nothing to do with the physical exertion of
running a marathon.
.
"We have traditionally focused medical preparedness and emergency care
availability to address the needs of race runners, but our study suggests
that effects of a marathon may spread well beyond the course of the event
and affect those who live or happen to be nearby," said the study's senior
author, Anupam Jena, the Ruth L. Newhouse Associate Professor of Health
Care Policy at Harvard Medical School.
.
The investigators examined 10 years' worth of patient records analyzing
death rates among older Americans, 65 years of age and over, within 30
days of having a heart attack or a cardiac arrest near a major marathon
across 11 U.S. cities. Researchers compared death rates among patients
hospitalized on the day of the race with those hospitalized five weeks
prior or five weeks after the race. Additionally, the researchers divided
patients by zip code, comparing death rates among those living near the
marathon and those living in zip codes well outside of the event's radius
and unaffected by street closures.
.
Patients admitted to a hospital on race day were nearly 15 percent more
likely to die within a month of suffering a heart attack or cardiac arrest
compared with those admitted on a non-marathon day or in a hospital
outside of the marathon's zip code(s).
