Sex Differences in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survival Trends.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates have improved over time. This study established whether improvements were similar for women and men, and to what extent resuscitation characteristics or in-hospital procedures contributed to sex differences in temporal trends.

Methods and results

This retrospective cohort study included 3386 women and 8564 men from North Holland, the Netherlands, who experienced an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest from a cardiac cause in 2005 to 2017. Yearly rates of 30-day survival and secondary outcomes were calculated. Sex differences in temporal trends were evaluated with age-adjusted Poisson regression analysis, including interaction for sex and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest year. Resuscitation characteristics and in-hospital proce
