Validation of Utstein-Based score to predict return of spontaneous circulation (Utstein Based-ROSC (UB-ROSC)) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

ResuscitationPublished Retrospective validation study

Authors' conclusion

UB-ROSC score represents a reliable tool to predict ROSC probability in OHCA patients.

Study context

Outcome
Prediction of ROSC by the UB-ROSC score (discrimination and calibration)
