Cardiovascular risk factors differently affect the survival of patients undergoing manual or mechanical resuscitation

Left ventricular hypertrophy	0.200	0.001
Hypertension	0.143	0.018
Hyperlipidaemia	−0.024	0.379
Odds ratios in case of parameters negatively affect ROSC
Parameters	OR	CI 95%
Left ventricular hypertrophy	5.131	4.965–5.293
Hypertension	1.822	1.748–1.891

r value: correlation coefficient, p value: level of significance, OR: Odds ratio quantifying how strongly the presence of the comorbid factors are associated with the negative outcome of resuscitation, CI: 95% confidence interval. If the interval not contains 1 the finding is significant
