Why the study?
Does female sex impact the likelihood of bystander resuscitation and survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest compared to male sex?

Implication
Sex disparities in OHCA resuscitation and survival warrant attention but should not yet change practice; leaves open targeted interventions on initial rhythm.

Bystander resuscitation rates and survival rates at successive stages of carehard clinical
Women experience lower rates of bystander resuscitation and survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest compared to men, partly driven by lower rates of shockable initial rhythms.
