Neurologic outcome and location of cardiac arrest in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A multicentre retrospective cohort in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

We examined the association between the location of cardiac arrest and outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).

Methods

This was a secondary analysis of SAVE-J II, a multicentre retrospective registry with 36 participating institutions across Japan, which enrolled adult patients with OHCA who underwent ECPR. The outcomes of interest were favourable neurologic outcome at discharge. We compared the outcome between OHCA cases that occurred at residential and public locations, using a multilevel logistic regression model allowing for the random effect of each hospital.

Results

Among 1,744 enrolled OHCAs, 809 and 935 occurred at residential (house: 603; apartment: 206) and public
