Sex-specific differences in survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a nationwide, population-based observational study.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
It remains unclear whether men have more favorable survival outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) than women.Methods
We reviewed a total of 386,535 patients aged ??18?years with OHCA who were included in the Japanese registry from 2013 to 2016. The study endpoints were the rates of 1-month survival and neurologically intact survival (Cerebral Performance Category Scale score?=?1 or 2). Based on age, the reviewed patients were categorized into the following eight groups: ResultsThe crude survival rate was significantly higher in men than in women in five groups: 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70-79?years (all P??0.02). Moreover, after hierarchical propensity score matching, the survival outcomes did not significantly differ between both sexes (all P?>?0.05).Conclusions
No significant sex-specific differences were found in the rates of 1-month survival and neurologically intact survival after OHCA.
