Utilizing community level factors to improve prediction of out of hospital cardiac arrest outcome using machine learning.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the impact of community level information on the predictability of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival.

Methods

We used the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) to geocode 9,595 Chicago incidents from 2014 to 2019 into community areas. Community variables including crime, healthcare, and economic factors from public data were merged with CARES. The merged data were used to develop ML models for OHCA survival. Models were evaluated using Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUROC) and features were analyzed using SHapley Additive exPansion (SHAP) values.

Results

Baseline results using CARES data achieved an AUROC of 84%. The final model utilizing community variables increased the AUROC to 88%. A SHAP a
