Association of Prehospital Rearrest With Outcome Following Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Exposure to prehospital rearrest has previously been associated with mortality following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Our objective was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the association between prehospital rearrest and survival in adults following OHCA resuscitation.

Methods

We searched the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science bibliographic databases for observational studies that included adult OHCA patients who achieved return of spontaneous circulation in the prehospital setting following OHCA and reported survival to hospital discharge data stratified by rearrest status. The primary exposure was prehospital rearrest. The primary outcome for this study was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes included survival with
