Review Comparative Study
Socio-economic differences in incidence, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A systematic review.
Individuals with a low socioeconomic status (SES) may have a greater mortality rate from out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) than those with a high SES. We explored whether SES disparities in OHCA mortality manifest in the incidence of OHCA, the chance of receiving bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or in the chance of surviving an OHCA. We also studied whether sex and age differences exist in such SES disparities. ⋯ SES disparities in OHCA mortality likely manifest in OHCA incidence, bystander CPR provision and survival rate after OHCA. However, there is a distinct lack of data on SES measured at the individual level and on differences within subgroups, e.g. by sex and age.

Review Meta Analysis
Prophylactic antibiotic use following cardiac arrest: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
To evaluate the effect of prophylactic/ early antibiotics (intervention group) compared with clinically driven/ delayed antibiotics (control group) on patient and infectious outcomes in adult cardiac arrest patients admitted to hospital. ⋯ Antibiotic prophylaxis following cardiac arrest is not associated with a change in key clinical outcomes. Further high-quality trials may be needed to address this important clinical question. Review registration: PROSPERO CRD42016039358.

We sought to understand how individual factors and neighborhood characteristics are associated with a layperson's likelihood of being trained in CPR. We hypothesized that higher socioeconomic status (educational attainment, and median household income (MHI)) would be associated with a higher likelihood of previous CPR training. ⋯ There is a strong association between socioeconomic factors (MHI and educational attainment) and likelihood of prior layperson CPR training.
