摘要: Abstract Objectives National leaders have suggested that patients with an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) may benefit from transport to specialized hospitals. We sought assess the survival OOHCA by distance and proximity. Methods Prospective, cohort study in 11 Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC) sites across North America. Transport proximity was calculated using weighted centroid census tract location Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Patients were stratified into quartiles based on receiving via GIS. Descriptive statistics used describe characteristics compare other Multivariate logistic regression evaluate impact survival. Results 26,628 identified, 7540 (28%) transported EMS included final analysis. The median time 6.3 min (IQR 5.4); being 2.4 miles (3.9 km). Most taken closest (71.7%; N  = 5412). However, unadjusted discharge lower for those compared further hospitals (12.1% vs. 16.5%) despite similar patient characteristics. not associated analysis (OR 1.00; 95% CI 0.99–1.01). Conclusions Survival higher located than while This suggests longer distance/time might adversely affect outcome. Further studies are needed inform policy decisions regarding best destination post-cardiac arrest.
