Increased neighborhood socioeconomic vulnerability correlates with higher odds of intra-arrest transport
Findings indicate significant socioeconomic disparities in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes

Abstract

In this cohort study of EMS resuscitations of adults for nontraumatic OHCA, greater neighborhood socioeconomic vulnerability was associated with increased odds of IAT. This association may contribute to socioeconomic disparities in OHCA outcomes and warrant further investigations into factors in EMS transport decisions for OHCA, particularly in marginalized communities.
