Purpose of the study: The community in which a person sustains an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) influences the likelihood that they will receive bystander CPR (BCPR) and ultimately survive. The aim of this research was to identify high risk communities in England with a high OHCA/low BCPR incidence to enable targeted strategies to be designed and implemented.
