^*Adjusted for age, gender, event year, presenting rhythm and covariates: location of arrest, witnessed arrest, bystander CPR, EMS response time and co-morbidities (myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, atrial fibrillation, renal failure and lung disease).

^†Model 1: adjusted for age, gender and event year.

^‡Model 2: adjusted for age, gender, event year and presenting rhythm.

^§Model 3: adjusted for age, gender, event year, presenting rhythm and covariates: location of arrest, witnessed arrest, bystander CPR, EMS response time.

^¶Model 4: adjusted for all covariates in model 3, and co-morbidities (myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, atrial fibrillation, renal failure and lung disease).

Am., American; CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; EMS, emergency medical service.
