Effects of Post-Hospital Arrival Factors on Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Outcomes During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The relationship between post-hospital arrival factors and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes remains unclear.

Objectives

This study assessed the impact of post-hospital arrival factors on OHCA outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic using a prediction model.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cohort study, data from the All-Japan Utstein Registry, a nationwide population-based database, between 2015 and 2021 were used. A total of 541,781 patients older than 18 years old who experienced OHCA of cardiac origin were included.

Main outcomes and measures

The primary exposure was trends in COVID-19 cases. The study compared the predicted proportion of favorable neurologic outcomes 1 month after resuscitation with the actual outcomes. Neur
