A binary end-of-event outcome indicator can be determined for 98.6% of 9-1-1 initiated ground EMS scene responses and 89.1% of cardiac arrests included in the NEMSIS dataset. The events with a determinable outcome appear representative of the larger dataset and the end-of-event indicators are generally consistent with reported emergency department outcomes.
