Differences between protocol and review

We made the following changes to the published protocol (Barry 2017).

  • We altered the title to refect the population of concern for this review.

  • MD joined as a review author and took responsibility for many of the roles previously provisionally assigned to NC.

  • We replaced the term 'ambulance service' with 'EMS' (emergency medical services) throughout the review, as EMS is a more internationally recognized term and was the terminology used in the included studies.

  • To increase robustness, three review authors (TB, MD, GB), rather than two, independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias related to included studies.

  • For the domain of 'incomplete outcome data', we assessed risk of bias at the outcome level rather than at the study level, as the risk of bias was considered to differ by outcome.

  • We had planned to use risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals to measure dichotomous outcomes; however the included cluster‐RCT expressed outcomes as odds ratios (ORs) appropriately adjusted for the cluster design effect (van Alem 2003); thus for the purpose of standardization, we expressed dichotomous outcomes as ORs throughout.

  • We included all primary outcomes in the 'Summary of findings' table, as per the standard Cochrane protocol. In addition, we included 'cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed before EMS arrival' and 'defibrillation performed before EMS arrival', as these outcomes are of key relevance given the overall review findings. We also included 'survival to hospital admission', as peer review feedback suggested that this would be important to readers.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Para saber más sobre el uso del modelo PICO, puede consultar el Manual Cochrane.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed before EMS arrival

1 study (an RCT) undertaken in Stockholm, Sweden, considered mobilization of nearby lay volunteers who were trained to perform CPR. Study authors found an increase in CPR performed before EMS arrival in the intervention group (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.09 to 2.03)

Defibrillation performed before EMS arrival

Moderatee

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence.
High‐certainty: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect.
Moderate‐certainty: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different.
Low‐certainty: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect.
Very low‐certainty: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect.

AED = automatic external defibrillator; CI = confidence interval; CFR = community first responder; CPC = cerebral performance category; CPR = cardiopulmonary resuscitation; EMS = emergency medical services; OHCA = out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest; OR = odds ratio; RCT = randomized controlled trial.

aDowngraded two levels for very significant risk of bias (control group may have been exposed to an intervention effect; CPR before EMS arrival).

bDowngraded two levels for very significant risk of bias (data missing for 55/667 participants for this outcome; 26% of eligible participants excluded from the trial; study not powered for this outcome).

cDowngraded one level for significant risk of bias (26% of eligible participants excluded from the trial).

dDowngraded one level for significant risk of bias (risk of both selection and detection bias; this outcome did not represent a primary or secondary outcome in this study).

eDowngraded one level for significant risk of bias (control group may have been exposed to an intervention effect ‐ CPR before EMS arrival; however, this would be expected to reduce the chance of finding a difference between control and intervention groups for this outcome; risk of both selection and detection bias for this outcome).
