  1. The data are presented as median (interquartile range) or number (percentage). We conducted Chi-square tests or Fisher’s exact tests for categorical variables and Mann–Whitney U tests for non-normally distributed continuous variables.
  2. MD: mood disorders; AMI: acute myocardial infarction; CKD: chronic kidney disease; CHF: congestive heart failure; HTN: hypertension; DM: diabetes mellitus; VF: ventricular fibrillation; VT: ventricular tachycardia; PEA: pulseless electrical activity; ED: emergency department; CPR: cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ECPR: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cardiopulmonary resuscitation; CI: cognitive impairment; ICU: intensive care unit; LOS: length of stay.
