aVariables selected for the model: age, number of failing organs, hypertension, CAD, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, atrial flutter/fibrillation, malignancy, hospital level, geographic area, teaching hospital status, bed size, ICU bed size, cardiac rhythm on admission, transfer to another hospital, length of hospital stay.

OHCA: out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; aOR: adjusted odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; CAD: coronary artery disease; ICU: intensive care unit; VF: ventricular fibrillation.
