Mobile applications enhance out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mobile applications, as innovative tools for promoting bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), have demonstrated potential to improve outcomes for patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This meta-analysis sought to systematically review the technical features of existing mobile applications and evaluate their impact on OHCA patient outcomes under various emergency response strategies. The findings aimed to guide the development and optimization of prehospital public emergency response systems.

Methods

A systematic search was conducted in databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Chinese Scientific Journals Database (VIP), SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, fr
