  1. Data was retrieved from literature. With EMS: first response by the emergency medical system, bCPR: early bystander/ first responder CPR before arrival of the EMS, bCPR + AED: early bystander/ first responder CPR and defibrillation before arrival of the EMS, CPC: cerebral performance category as indication of neurological outcome (1–2: good, 3–4: bad). The values were obtained by combination of outcomes (Table 2) and response distributions (Table 3)
  2. *The medium case was calculated as the average value of both extreme values
