Subgroup 1: received public AED and did not receive defibrillation by EMS; 2: not received public AED and with VF/VT of initial rhythm and in the age group of 10–17 years; 3: received public AED and received defibrillation by EMS; 4: not received public AED and with non-VF/VT of initial rhythm and witnessed OHCA by a bystander; 5: not received public AED and with VF/VT of initial rhythm and in the age of 5–9 years; 6: not received public AED and with non-VF/VT of initial rhythm and not witnessed OHCA by a bystander.
AED, automated external defibrillator; AUC-ROC, area under the curve in receiver operating curve; CPC, cerebral performance category; EMS, emergency medical service; OHCA, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; SDA, signal detection analysis.
