Tóm tắt

This commentary discusses the findings of a study by Tsuchida et al. on the effect of annual hospital admissions of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients on survival and neurological outcomes in OHCA patients in the context of existing literature on the topic, and the implications on future studies investigating the volume-outcome relationship in cardiac arrest.
