Tests for carryover effect by comparison of the clusters of cardiopulmonary resuscitations (CPR) outside hospital first randomised to feedback-on with those clusters first randomised to feedback-off during the first two randomisation periods of trial*
Outcome | Difference of feedback-on from feedback-off | ||
---|---|---|---|
Average percentage change in cluster outcome rates (95% CI) | P value for test of carryover | ||
Feedback-on first clusters | Feedback-off first clusters | ||
Prehospital return of spontaneous circulation | −8.4 (−17.4 to 0.7) | −7.3 (−17.5 to 2.9) | 0.865 |
Survival to hospital discharge | −5.6 (−11.9 to 0.8) | −5.3 (−11.7 to 1.0) | 0.959 |
*Trial of CPR provided by emergency medical services with monitor-defibrillator providing real-time feedback on CPR process (“feedback-on”) or not providing feedback (“feedback-off”).
