Variability in survival and post-cardiac arrest care following successful resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

TL;DR: Hospital case volume is associated with improved patient outcomes and inter-hospital variability in OHCA outcomes may potentially be addressed by regionalization of care to high volume centers with higher rates of post-arrest care provision and better patient outcomes.
