Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) through an international survey targeting emergency physicians and acute cardiovascular researchers.
- 160 respondents from 46 countries provided insights, revealing that higher baseline outcomes correspond to higher MCIDs; for example, a population with 25% survival had median MCIDs of 5% for both survival and favorable neurologic status at discharge.
- The findings suggest that understanding MCIDs for outcomes like ICU-free and hospital-free survival can help facilitate more rapid improvements in resuscitation care based on evidence-based practices.

In Mexico, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a health problem that represents 33,000 to 150,000 or more deaths per year. The few existent reports show mortality as high as 100% in contrast to some international reports that show higher survival rates. In Queretaro, during the last 5 years there were no successful resuscitation cases.
