DBP = diastolic blood pressure.

a

Results are based on multiple logistic or linear regression models, adjusting for age category (< 1 yr, ≥ 1 yr), location of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and study site. All estimates show bradycardia and poor perfusion vs asystole/pulseless electrical activity/ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia.

b

Average over (up to) the first 10 min of CPR.

c

Average DBP ≥ 25 mm Hg for infants or ≥ 30 mm Hg for children.

d

Odds ratio estimate.

e

Linear effect estimate.

f

Discharge Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category ≤ 3 or no worse than baseline.
