  1. bOdds ratio (OR) for the outcome for LBD-CPR versus manual CPR. cOR was adjusted for hospital, arrest location, bystander witnessed, Emergency Medical Service (EMS) witnessed, initial rhythm, pre-hospital defibrillation, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Data are presented as number (percentage) unless otherwise specified. CPC, cerebral performance category; OPC, overall performance category. The CPC/OPC data were missing for two cases in the LDB phase. ND, not done/sample size too small.
