Logistic regression for the odds of ROSC in the pre-pandemic (2019) and pandemic (2020) periods, adjusted for suspected confounders.
Predictor | Adjusted Odds Ratio (95% CI) for Obtaining Return of Spontaneous Circulation |
---|---|
Year = 2020 | 0.61 (0.34–1.11) |
Age (per 10 year increase) | 0.99 (0.86–1.15) |
Gender = Male | 0.87 (0.49–1.56) |
Arrest Location = Nursing Homea | 0.56 (0.19–1.45) |
Arrest Location = Public Placea | 0.92 (0.34–2.21) |
EMS Type = BLS | 0.38 (0.21–0.70)⁎ |
Initial Rhythm = Unshockable | 0.32 (0.14–0.72)⁎ |
Bystander CPR = Yes | 1.70 (0.86–3.36) |
Race = Whiteb | 0.91 (0.31–2.29) |
Arrest Witnessed By EMSc | 2.41 (1.02–5.77)⁎ |
Arrest Witnessed By Bystanderc | 0.62 (0.31–2.29) |
EMS = emergency medical services; PEA = pulseless electrical activity; CPR = cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ROSC = return of spontaneous circulation; CI = confidence interval.
