| Abstract |
Outcomes of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) are influenced by many factors. We postulate that paramedics who have participated in a greater number of OHCA resuscitations will have improved patient outcomes when compared to paramedics who participated in fewer resuscitations. We conducted a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data abstracted from the cardiac arrest database of a large urban EMS system. All OHCA cases where resuscitation was attempted during the year 2014 were reviewed. Our outcome of interest was the rate of sustained Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), which is defined as ROSC for five continuous minutes or greater. The rate of sustained ROSC was calculated from cases when paramedics served in the role of the lead medic. These rates were then analyzed using the Chi-Square test. A total of 1,145 cases of OHCA met criteria for inclusion in this study, of which 343 paramedics participated in at least one cardiac arrest in 2014. The median number of resuscitations was 10 with a range from 1 to 26 resuscitations. The paramedics were dichotomized into two groups; those who participated in <10 OHCAs (120/343), labeled "less experienced," and those who participated in ≥10 OHCAs (223/343), labeled "more experienced." Paramedics in the less experienced group had a sustained ROSC rate of 22.2% for resuscitations in which they were the lead medic, while those in the more experienced group had a rate of 28.9% (p-value = 0.047), RR 1.30 (95% CI 1.001, 1.692). This study demonstrated that more experienced paramedics had a statistically significant increase in achieving sustained ROSC when they were functioning in a lead role compared to less experienced paramedics. We found no other clinically significant patient outcomes related to the provider's experience. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 66. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 April 2020.
All research outputs
#641,748
of 25,210,618 outputs
Outputs from Prehospital Emergency Care
#30
of 1,546 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#14,743
of 453,848 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Prehospital Emergency Care
#3
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,210,618 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,546 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 453,848 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
