a

Adjusted models were adjusted for age, race and ethnicity, sex, cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, and heart failure on presentation. Model area under receiver operating characteristic curves and median of deviance residuals are provided in eTable 5 in Supplement 1.

b

Walk-in patients did not have cardiac arrest prior to arrival.
