Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how Do-Not-Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) orders issued within 6 hours of hospital admission impact the neurological outcomes of older patients who suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
- It analyzed data from patients aged 65 and older in Japan, using propensity score analysis to compare those with DNAR orders to those without, considering various confounding factors.
- Results showed that patients with early DNAR orders had significantly fewer therapeutic interventions and worse neurological outcomes after 30 days compared to those without DNAR orders.
Background: Effective bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. However, the effect of CPR training on the rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) among laypersons has yet to be thoroughly evaluated.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter observational study was conducted across 42 centers in Japan.
