A recent study found significant race and sex-based differences in survival benefits for people who received bystander CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. White adults and men had higher chances of survival compared to Black adults and women, with Native American and white adults seeing the greatest benefits. Individuals who received bystander CPR had a 28% higher chance of survival and were less likely to have serious brain injuries. Disparities in CPR quality were found based on race, ethnicity, and sex, highlighting the need for equitable outcomes. Future research will focus on identifying factors that influence survival outcomes and improving CPR training programs.
