To evaluate whether bystander CPR rates for witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests differ by patient race or ethnic group across home and public settings.
Analyzed 110,054 witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases from a large U.S. registry between 2013 and 2019.
Used hierarchical logistic regression to assess bystander CPR receipt among Black or Hispanic persons compared to White persons, stratified by neighborhood racial makeup and income brackets.
Black and Hispanic individuals were less likely to receive bystander CPR than White individuals at home (38.5% vs. 47.4%; adjusted OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.72 to 0.76) and in public (45.6% vs. 60.0%; adjusted OR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.60 to 0.66).
Disparities persisted in home bystander CPR across predominantly White (adjusted OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.74 to 0.90), majority Black or Hispanic (adjusted OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.75 to 0.83), and integrated neighborhoods (adjusted OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.74 to 0.81), as well as across all neighborhood income strata.
