  1. Data given in Odds Ratios (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI)
  2. An area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) greater than 0.8 indicates an excellent model fit
  3. Abbreviations: BLS = Basic Life Support, CPR = Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, HEMS = Helicopter Emergency Medical System, ROSC = Return of Spontaneous Circulation
  4. Bold p-values are significant
