Hypothermia (total) | 179 | 163 | 91 | 60 | 34 |
VF/pVT | 95 | 87 | 92 | 42 | 44 |
Non-VF/pVT | 84 | 76 | 90 | 18 | 21 |

Subgroups of patients were arranged by: temperature management (normothermia vs. hypothermia), by first ECG rhythm (ventricular fibrillation (VF)/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT) vs. non-VF/pVT), and by coronary intervention (percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed within 24 hours after successful resuscitation vs. no PCI).
