Time to bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation by patient sex for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

BACKGROUND: Delays in bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are associated with worse out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes. Whether disparities exist in time to CPR between women and men is unknown.

METHODS: We included witnessed OHCAs treated with bystander CPR from the Cardiac Arrest Registry Enhancing Survival between 2013-2021. The primary outcome was time to first bystander CPR, and secondary outcomes were survival to hospital discharge and favorable neurological survival. Hierarchical ordinal regression was used to model time to first CPR, which estimates the odds of having a 2-minute longer delay (from 0 to ≥10 minutes) in receiving bystander CPR. The model included sex, age, race, location of arrest, cardiac arrest etiology, day of week, and season as fixed effects and EMS agency as a random effect to account for clustering of patients within an agency.

RESULTS: Of 78,043 patients with a witnessed OHCA that received bystander CPR, 25,197 (32.3%) were women. The median [IQR] time to first bystander CPR was 2 [1,5] minutes for both women and men. In adjusted analysis, time to bystander CPR was similar in men and women (p = 0.26). Moreover, there was a statistically significantly graded inverse association between time to bystander CPR and survival.

CONCLUSION: For patients with witnessed OHCA that received bystander CPR, women and men had similar times to CPR, although 5-minute or greater delays in initiating CPR was not uncommon. Delays in bystander CPR in OHCA were associated with worse survival outcomes.
