3 Figure 2 Rate of bystander-performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation in witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases in each age group. A marked decrease in the rate relative to men was observed in women in the group aged 20 to 29 years. The American Journal of Medicine  , DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

4 Figure 3 The proportion of cases showing ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia as the initial cardiac rhythm. Men showed a higher rate of ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia than women in each age group. VF=ventricular fibrillation; VT=ventricular tachycardia.

5 Figure 4 The 1-month survival rate of each age group in overall out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases. The survival rate in the group aged 50 to 69 years was higher for men than women. The American Journal of Medicine  , DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

6 Figure 5 The 1-month survival rate of each age group in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases in which ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia was not presented as the initial rhythm. A lower rate was observed for men than women for patients aged 20 to 50 years. VF=ventricular fibrillation; VT=ventricular tachycardia.
