ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death worldwide. In China, 550000 people develop OHCA annually with a survival rate of only 1.3% after discharge, making OHCA a major public health issue.

Research motivation

A large gap of prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (P-ROSC) rate remains between China and other countries and that the relative contributions of aid measures for each of these factors to P-ROSC vary across countries. There are still not such model, including pre-EMS intervention factors and Prehospital emergency measures, have currently been developed for P-ROSC in China.

Research objectives

To develop a nomogram prediction model which is interpretable, convenient to implement, easy to comprehend in busy prehospital processing, and comprehensive, including prehospital drug administration. Therefore, it could serve as a potentially assistive tool for clinical aid decision-making.

Research methods

Clinical data of patients with OHCA were retrospectively analyzed A nomogram prediction model for P-ROSC in patients with OHCA was developed and validate.

Research results

Among the included 2685 patients with OHCA, the P-ROSC incidence was 5.8%. LASSO and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), initial rhythm, CPR duration, ventilation mode, and pathogenesis were independent factors influencing P-ROSC in these patients. The area under the ROC was 0.963. The calibration plot demonstrated that the predicted P-ROSC model was concordant with the actual P-ROSC. The good clinical usability of the prediction model was confirmed using decision curve analysis.

Research conclusions

We developed a simple and accessible model to predict the probability of achieving P-ROSC in China. The P-ROSC, with just six factors, is interpretable, convenient to implement, and comprehensive in busy prehospital processing; thus, it could serve as a possible assistive tool for clinical-aid decision-making.

Research perspectives

If we go one step further, we start to conduct prospective studies to identify the specific causalities and to improve the accuracy of data collection.
