  • *Univariate analysis.

  • †Multivariate analysis. All variables listed in the rows, except ‘Was shock delivered’ were included in the multivariate analysis.

  • ‡Statistically significant.

  • §The variable ‘Was shock delivered’ was omitted from analysis as it is a constant, that is, shock delivered to all cases included in the analysis.

  • ¶Patients were defined as having received early defibrillation if defibrillation was attempted by a bystander or if EMS defibrillation was attempted and the CRI was 5 min or less.

  • CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; CRI, call–response interval; EMS, emergency medical services.
