Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Ireland 2012 to 2020: Bystander CPR, bystander defibrillation and survival in the Utstein comparator group.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Irish Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest registry (OHCAR) collects data based on the internationally recognised Utstein template. The Utstein comparator group (bystander witnessed and initial shockable rhythm) has specific relevance in benchmarking out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) health system performance.

Aims

To describe OHCA in the Utstein comparator group during 2012 to 2020 in Ireland. To explore predictors of bystander CPR, defibrillation, and survival to hospital discharge.

Methods

National level OHCA registry data were interrogated. The subset of patients in the Utstein comparator group were identified and explored. Multivariable logistic regression was used to model outcome predictors.

Results

There were 3,092 cases of OHCA in the Utst
