We randomly selected a group of 35 patients who were not treated with hypothermia, matched by a demographic propensity score, to serve as a control group (Considerations in calculating the sample size were based on several key points: incidence of OHCA, primary outcome, and efficacy of therapeutic hypothermia.

Using propensity matching, induced hypothermia was associated with a relative 12% reduction survival to hospital discharge, as compared with usual care (27.4% versus 29.2%, P=0.01). JP, Larkin
