The Association of Racial Residential Segregation and Survival After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in the United States.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Residential segregation has been identified as drivers of disparities in health outcomes, but further work is needed to understand this association with clinical outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We utilized Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) dataset to examine if there are differences in survival to discharge and survival with good neurological outcome, as well as likelihood of bystander CPR, using validated measures of racial, ethnic, and economic segregation. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study using data from the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) dataset to examine associations among adult OHCA patients. The primary predictor was the Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE), a validated measure that includes race, ethnicity, and income across three measures at the census tract level. The primary outcomes were survival to discharge and survival with good neurological status. A multivariable modified Poisson regression modeling approach with random effects at the EMS agency and hospital level was utilized. Results: We identified 626,264 OHCA patients during the study period. The mean age was 62 years old (SD 17.2 years), and 35.7% (n =223,839) of the patients were female. In multivariable models, we observed an increased likelihood of survival to discharge and survival with good neurological outcome for those patients residing in predominately White population census tracts and higher income census tracts as compared to lower income Black and Hispanic/Latinx population census tracts (RR 1.24, CI 1.20-1.28) and a 32% increased likelihood of receiving bystander CPR in higher income census tracts as compared to reference (RR 1.32, CI 1.30-1.34). Conclusions: In this study examining the association of measures of residential segregation and OHCA outcomes, there was an increased likelihood of survival to discharge, survival with good neurological status, and likelihood of receiving B-CPR for those patients residing in predominately White population and higher income census tracts when compared to predominately Black and/or Hispanic Latinx populations and lower income census tracts. This research suggests that areas impacted by residential and economic segregation are important targets for both public policy interventions as well as addressing disparities in care across the chain of survival for OHCA.
