Recommendations
As issued by the authors
The 2015 domains (system, dispatch, patient, process, outcomes) were retained
Further clarity for the definitions of OHCA attended resuscitation and attempted resuscitation
Changes reflect advances in dispatch, early response systems and resuscitation care, and the importance of prehospital outcomes
Time intervals such as EMS response time emphasise precise reporting of the times used
New flowcharts for reporting system effectiveness (attempted resuscitation) and system efficacy (Utstein comparator group)
Minimal dataset for settings with developing emergency medical systems
Supplementary variables considered useful for research purposes
