Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in China: A systematic review and Utstein-style data analysis based on the Chain of Survival
Authors' conclusion
A low probability of first aid at multiple points is linked to poor survival following OHCA.
Study context
- Population
- Chinese patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)59 Chains
- Participants
- 233,376 patients
- Comparison
- OHCA survival across prespecified Chain of Survival scenarios
- Outcome
- Survival to discharge
- Follow-up
- Discharge

Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
Survival to discharge, by scenario
- Resuscitation attempted by a bystander vs Resuscitation attempted by emergency medical service (EMS): P = 0.025
- Resuscitation attempted by a bystander vs In-hospital treatment: P = 0.301
- Values listed in the order of the four prespecified scenarios
