CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; VF, ventricular fibrillation.

ORs were adjusted for origin of arrest, gender, age, type of witnessed status, first documented rhythm, public-access AED shocks, dispatcher instruction, type of bystander CPR, intravenous fluid, epinephrine, advanced airway management, hospital arrival time, day of week, time of day, and year.

A total of 155 1-month survival and 160 favorable neurologic outcome data points were missing.
