Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses on patients admitted with cardiac arrest, exploring differences in the use of invasive mechanical ventilation, invasive monitoring, vasoactive treatment, echocardiography, RRT and placement of central catheters, based on the sex of the patient. Data presented as odds ratio and 95% CI.
