Is there an association between 30-day mortality from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and deprivation levels within Hampshire? A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

People who live in population-dense areas, work in routine occupations, originate from a non-white background, have lower education attainment and experience a greater level of deprivation have an increased risk of suffering an OHCA and are less likely to receive bystander CPR. This study seeks to understand if these observed inequalities result in reduced survival by examining the relationship between deprivation and survival at 30 days at a UK single county level.

Methods

30-day survival from non-traumatic OHCA in adults over 18 years of age in Hampshire from local ambulance service data (Jan 2019 - March 2023) was combined with indices of multiple deprivation (IMD) based on the home postcode. Multivariable logistic regression models were developed, through bi
