Gender-related differences in adults concerning frequency, survival and treatment quality after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA): an observational cohort study from the German Resuscitation Registry

In Germany approximately 20,500 women and 41,000 men were resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) each year. We are currently experiencing a discussion about the possible undersupply of women in healthcare. The aim of the present study was to examine the prevalence of OHCA in Germany, as well as the outcome and quality of resuscitation care for both women and men.
