Regional disparities and temporal trends in pre-hospital management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Thailand: a multi-center retrospective cohort study (2017-2023).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains a major public health concern in Thailand, where pre-hospital care and survival outcomes vary widely across regions. Furthermore, national-level data remains sparse and fragmented.
