Popis: Abstract Background It remains unclear whether men have more favorable survival outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) than women. Methods We reviewed a total of 386,535 patients aged ≥ 18 years with OHCA who were included in the Japanese registry from 2013 to 2016. The study endpoints were the rates of 1-month survival and neurologically intact survival (Cerebral Performance Category Scale score = 1 or 2). Based on age, the reviewed patients were categorized into the following eight groups: 0.02). Moreover, after hierarchical propensity score matching, the survival outcomes did not significantly differ between both sexes (all P > 0.05). Conclusions No significant sex-specific differences were found in the rates of 1-month survival and neurologically intact survival after OHCA.
