Regional disparities and temporal trends in pre-hospital management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Thailand: a multi-center retrospective cohort study (2017–2023)
This study confirmed the importance of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and services response time in patient survival in Thailand and highlighted regional disparities. A coordinated national registry is urgently needed for targeted improvements. Lack of standardized and comprehensive data, especially neurologic outcomes and long-term survival, hinders performance evaluation and evidence-based reform.
