Figure 1. Trends in regional distribution index of (A) NPPP, (B) NEPP, (C) NCPP, and (D) NCSPP stratified by Physician Uneven distribution Index quartiles; and (E) trends in Gini Index of each index from 2010 to 2020.
NCPP: number of cardiologists per 100,000 population, NCSPP: number of cardiac surgeons per 100,000 population, NEPP: number of emergency physicians per 100,000 population, NPPP: number of physicians per 100,000 population, Q: quartile.

Figure 2. Trends in (A) 30-day survival rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and (B) 30-day favorable neurological outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest stratified by PUDI quartiles
EMTT: emergency transportation time, OHCA: out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, PUDI: physician uneven distribution index, Q: quartile.
