| Popis: | INTRODUCTION: The advanced life support (ALS) provider course is the gold standard for teaching and assessing competence in advanced resuscitation. Outcomes over a 5-year period of European Resuscitation (ERC)/IRC ALS provider courses in Italy were investigated, and the factors associated with course success are described.

RESULTS: A total of 13,624 candidates were evaluated from 871 courses. Among the candidates, 55% were MDs and 45% were nurses.
