AOR = Adjusted odds ratio, CI = confidence interval, CPR = cardiopulmonary resuscitation. aAdjusted for age, gender, medical insurance status, location of arrest, witness status, bystander CPR, response time interval, initial electrocardiogram rhythm, prehospital defibrillation, prehospital advanced airway, prehospital mechanical CPR, urbanization level, and volume of center.
