To date, 72% of variability in survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is explained by the Utstein variables. Whether neighborhood factors further influence a return of spontaneous circulation or survival after OHCA is poorly understood. ⋯ Residential neighborhood factors marginally improve discrimination for outcomes after an OHCA, beyond the Utstein variables. Further research should explore the influence of other currently unmeasured neighborhood factors on OHCA outcomes.
