Between-hospital variability in organ donation after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Introduction: Survival and recovery after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) varies between hospitals, with better outcomes associated with high-volume and specialty care. We evaluated if there is a similar relationship with organ donation after OHCA.

Methods: We studied a cohort of adults resuscitated from OHCA from 2010 to 2018, treated at one of 112 hospitals served by a regional organ procurement organization (OPO).
