| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Emergency physicians are likely to play an important role in the 'chain of survival.' The relationship between the number of emergency physicians and out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (OHCA) prognosis is not well understood. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the impact of the number of emergency physicians on the outcomes of OHCA. METHODS: In a nationwide, population-based, observational study, we enrolled 120,721 adults aged ≥ 18 years with OHCA, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. We used the countrywide Utstein Registry database coupled with health statistics data surveyed by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The primary endpoint was favorable neurological outcomes 1 month after OHCA. RESULTS: During the study period, OHCA occurred in 25,580 people (21.2%) in an area with the number of emergency physicians/100,000 population < 1.5, in 62,299 people (51.6%) in an area with ≥ 1.5 and < 3.0 emergency physicians/100,000 population, in 30,948 people (25.6%) in an area with ≥ 3.0 and < 4.5 emergency physicians/100,000 population, and in 1894 people (1.6%) in an area with ≥ 4.5 emergency physicians/100,000 population. Patient prognosis became more favorable as the number of emergency physicians increased (1-month survival: 5.08% vs. 5.81% vs. 5.90% vs. 8.82%, p < 0.0001; and favorable neurological outcomes: 2.64% vs. 2.84% vs. 3.23% vs. 3.54%, p < 0.0001; for emergency physicians/100,000 population of < 1.5, ≥ 1.5 and < 3.0, ≥ 3.0 and < 4.5, and ≥ 4.5, respectively). The adjusted odds ratio for favorable neurological outcomes per increase of one emergency physician/100,000 population was 1.06 (95% confidence interval 1.01-1.11, p = 0.0163). CONCLUSION: An increased number of emergency physicians/100,000 population is likely to be associated with improved outcomes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
