Spatial analysis and data mining techniques for identifying risk factors of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

作者:

Highlights:

• Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is a critical issue of emergency medical service (EMS).

• Ubiquitous computing technologies could significantly improve the survival rate of OHCA patients.

• Public health institutions should manage first-aid resources more efficiently and make EMS policies more effectively.

• New Taipei City, Taiwan was chosen as the scope of this study. Spatial Analysis and Data Mining Techniques were used.

• Spatial clustering of OHCA events was found. Risk factors to 2-hour survival rate after OHCA were identified.
