Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Factors associated with the provision of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and outcomes across the Pan Asian communities
Authors' conclusion
Ethnicity and SES predict BCPR provision in Pan-Asian OHCA. BCPR is associated with improved survival and favorable neurologic outcomes.
Study context
- Population
- Adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients (≥18 years) requiring immediate CPR or advanced life support, Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study (PAROS) registry, 13 Asia-Pacific countries, 2009–2018
- Participants
- 181,135 cases
- Exposure
- Determinants of bystander CPR; Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (BCPR) vs no BCPR for outcomes
- Outcome
- Bystander CPR provision (multivariable logistic regression)
Methodological detailsregistry-based, multinational (13 Asia-Pacific countries)
