This study aimed to investigate the association between prehospital physician presence and neurologic outcomes in pediatric patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The data from the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine-OHCA Registry were analyzed in a retrospective cohort study. The results showed that among pediatric patients with OHCA, prehospital physician presence was associated with a nearly two-fold increase in the odds of 1-month favorable neurologic outcomes.
OBJECTIVES:To examine the association of prehospital physician presence with neurologic outcomes of pediatric patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). DESIGN:Retrospective cohort study. SETTING:Data from the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine-OHCA Registry. INTERVENTIONS:None. PATIENTS:Pediatric patients (age 17 yr old or younger) registered in the database between June 2014 and December 2019. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS:We used logistic regression models with stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to estimate the associated treatment effect of a prehospital physician with 1-month neurologically intact survival. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and 1-month survival after OHCA. A total of 1,187 patients (276 in the physician presence group and 911 in the physician absence group) were included (median age 3 yr [interquartile range 0-14 yr]; 723 [61%] male). Comparison of the physician presence group, versus the physician absence, showed 1-month favorable neurologic outcomes of 8.3% (23/276) versus 3.6% (33/911). Physician presence was associated with greater odds of 1-month neurologically intact survival after stabilized IPTW adjustment (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.98, 95% CI 1.08-3.66). We also found an association in the secondary outcome between physician presence, opposed to absence, and in-hospital ROSC (aOR 1.48, 95% CI 1.08-2.04). However, we failed to identify an association with 1-month survival (aOR 1.49, 95% CI 0.97-2.88). CONCLUSIONS:Among pediatric patients with OHCA, prehospital physician presence, compared with absence, was associated almost two-fold greater odds of 1-month favorable neurologic outcomes.
