The reality of rurality: Understanding the impact of remoteness on out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest in Western Australia – A retrospective cohort study
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in rural areas had lower odds of ROSC at hospital compared to metropolitan areas, despite adjustment for known prognostic covariates. Despite WA's highly sparse regional population, these differences in ROSC are consistent with those reported in other international studies.
