Long-term prognostic significance of gasping in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a post hoc analysis of a multi-center prospective cohort study

Table 3 Odds ratios of neurological outcomes according to the recognition timing of gasping based on the absence of gasping in ECPR patients

	Unadjusted OR (95% CI)	p value	Adjusted OR (95%CI)	p value
	n = 212		n = 207^a
Without gasping during resuscitation	1.00 (Ref.)	< .001	1.00 (Ref.)	< .001
With gasping either during EMS transport or on hospital arrival	3.93 (1.07–14.46)	0.040	4.97 (1.11–22.39)	0.037
With gasping both during EMS transport and on hospital arrival	12.15 (3.70–39.97)	< .001	27.44 (5.65–133.41)	< .001
