Racial disparities, comorbidities, and low body mass index reduce survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

CPR is crucial for the management of cardiac arrest. However, the impacts of certain individualized factors, such as different ethnicities, body weights, and medical histories, on the efficacy of CPR remain unclear. This meta-analysis clarifies the associations between three individualized factors and the outcomes of CPR, aiming to optimize resuscitation strategies.

Methods

We systematically searched eight databases-PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, VIP, Wan Fang, and CNKI-for studies that explored the associations between ethnicity, past medical history, body mass index (BMI), and CPR outcomes. Separate meta-analyses were then conducted for each of these three individualized factors.

Results

Eleven studies evaluated ethnicity, nin
