Ethnic and sex-based differences in outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a glimpse of the largest municipal healthcare system in the United States

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ethnic and sex-based disparity in outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may exist and could be due to social factors and inequality in care. We aimed to study whether ethnic and sex-based differences in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes occurred in a safety net hospital within the largest municipal healthcare system in the United States.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients successfully resuscitated from an OHCA and brought to New York City Health + Hospitals/Jacobi, from January 2019 to September 2021. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest characteristics, do not resuscitate and withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy orders, and disposition data were collected and analyzed using regression models.
