Rurality and Area Deprivation and Outcomes After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
In this cohort study, OHCAs in rural areas of all levels of economic deprivation were associated with less ROSC at ED arrival vs urban areas with low deprivation, and OHCAs in urban areas with high or moderate deprivation are associated with less survival and less favorable discharge destination, suggesting worse neurologic outcomes. Care improvements alone may not reduce geographic differences in outcomes after OHCA.
