Primary logistic regression model of odds of favorable functional survival

Primary Model Model with peri-shock pause*
Predictor variable OR (95% CI) OR (95% CI)
Analyze Early 1 (reference) 1 (reference)
Analyze Late 0.75 (0.59, 0.96) 0.83 (0.59, 1.18)
Epistry survival rate for a +10% difference 1.26 (1.05, 1.52) 1.26 (1.03, 1.53)
Interaction between Analyze Late and baseline survival, For a +10% difference 1.34 (1.07, 1.66) 1.28 (0.97, 1.70)
Peri-shock pause, median from the first three shocks -----
    <20 seconds ----- 1 (reference)
    ≥ 20 seconds, <40 seconds ----- 0.69 (0.51, 0.92)
    ≥ 40 seconds ----- 0.64 (0.38, 1.10)

EMS Initial Rhythm

Pulseless electrical activity is abbreviated PEA. Model with peri-shock pause is restricted to those presenting with an initial shockable rhythm.

Restricted to those with an initial rhythm of ventricular fibrillation
