Improving survival rates for patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by addressing social needs.
Official title: Addressing Disparities in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Utilization of Health-Related Social Needs and Predictive Analytics to Improve Clinical Outcomes
Funded at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai · NIH-10985877 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking to help people who have had a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital by understanding their social needs, so we can find better ways to improve their chances of survival.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research are individuals who have experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and may have unmet health-related social needs.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who have not experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest or those with no identifiable health-related social needs may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the survival rates of patients who suffer from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) by identifying and addressing their health-related social needs (HRSN). The principal investigator, Dr. Ethan Abbott, aims to develop predictive models that incorporate both clinical data and social factors to better predict patient outcomes. By utilizing advanced data science techniques, including natural language processing, the project seeks to create interventions that can effectively reduce mortality rates associated with OHCA. Patients will be assessed based on their individual social needs, which are often overlooked in traditional predictive models.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved survival rates and better clinical outcomes for patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
How similar studies have gone: Other research has shown promise in using social determinants of health to improve patient outcomes, suggesting that this approach could be effective.
