Survival percentages of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) by district in areas with high (> = 5,000 persons/km<sup>2</sup>) and low (< 5,000 persons/km<sup>2</sup>) population densities of Kaohsiung City, 2011–2013.
<p>Survival percentages of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) by district in areas with high (> = 5,000 persons/km<sup>2</sup>) and low (< 5,000 persons/km<sup>2</sup>) population densities of Kaohsiung City, 2011–2013.</p
Interpolation of the interval from the call to hospital admission by using the Kriging method.
<p>Areas marked with red indicate a prolonged interval of an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) case from the call to hospital admission, while areas marked with green show a short interval (<30 min). Uncolored areas are locations without sufficient interpolation information (sparse OHCA event points).</p
