  1. Abbreviations: OR, odds ratio; ECPR, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation; CCPR, conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation; IHCA, in-hospital cardiac arrest; OHCA, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; CPC, Cerebral Performance Category Scale; GOS, Glasgow Outcome Scale; N/A, not available.
  2. aAge was presented as median (interquartile range) or mean ± standard deviation.
  3. bNot included in the meta-analysis because of duplicated data sources.
  4. cNot included in the meta-analysis because the patient data was previously published in the Choi et al.16 trial.
  5. dNot included in the meta-analysis because the patient data was not reported separately for OHCA and IHCA patients.
