Witnessed Arrest2.5 (0.7 to 9.5)
Bystander CPR0.4 (0.1 to 1.8)
Male1.9 (0.5 to 8.1)
Home OHCA1.8 (0.5 to 6.8)
EMS response time1.0 (0.9 to 1.2)
  • * ORs calculated using multivariable logistic regression using all variables listed.

  • CPC, Cerebral Performance Category; EMS, emergency medical services; GOS-E, Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended; OHCA, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
