Paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA) is associated with poor survival and severe neurological sequelae. We conducted a systematic review on the impact of sociodemographic factors across different stages of POHCA. ⋯ Race and ethnicity are likely associated with POHCA risk and bystander CPR provision. These findings highlight the importance of prioritizing at-risk groups in POHCA prevention and intervention efforts. Further research is needed to understand underlying mechanisms.
