Impact of socioeconomic status on cardiac arrest outcomes during COVID-19 pandemic
Lower levels of SES are a significant risk factor for unfavorable neurological recovery in OHCA, independent of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, SES-related disparities in the outcomes decreased post-pandemic. Despite the overall negative impact of COVID-19, certain lower SES groups showed improved survival rates, likely due to differences in the EMS response and healthcare burden across regions.
