We aimed to investigate emergency call characteristics where the machine-learning model failed to recognize OHCA or misinterpreted a call as being OHCA.  \nMethods: All emergency calls were linked to the dispatch database and verified OHCAs were identified by linkage to the Danish Cardiac Arrest Registry. Calls with either false negative or false positive predictions of OHCA were evaluated by trained auditors. Descriptive analyses were performed with absolute numbers and percentages reported.  \nResults: The machine-learning model processed 169,236 calls to Copenhagen EMS and suspected 5,811 (3.4%) of the calls as OHCA, resulting in 84.5% sensitivity and 97.1% specificity. Among OHCAs not recognised by machine-learning model, a condition completely different from OHCA was presented by caller in 31% of the cases. In 28% of unrecognised calls, patient was reported breathing normally, and language barriers were identified in 23% of the cases. Among falsely suspected OHCA, the patient was reported unconscious in 28% of the cases, and in 13% of the false positive cases the machine-learning model interpreted calls regarding dead patients with irreversible signs of death as OHCA.  \nConclusion: Continuous optimization of the language model is needed to improve the predi","cbCaijcMPBb25X3j","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijcMPBb25X3j","pdf",798600,1,8,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n## Background\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusion\n## Keywords","[{\"question\":\"What was the study aiming to investigate about the machine-learning model?\",\"answer\":\"The study aimed to investigate emergency call characteristics in which the model either failed to recognize OHCA or misinterpreted a call as OHCA.\"},{\"question\":\"How were verified OHCA cases and false predictions assessed?\",\"answer\":\"Emergency calls were linked to the dispatch database and verified OHCA cases were identified through linkage to the Danish Cardiac Arrest Registry, then false negative/positive predictions were evaluated by trained auditors.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of situations contributed to missed or falsely suspected OHCA?\",\"answer\":\"For unrecognized OHCA, callers often described conditions different from OHCA, including normal breathing and identified language barriers.
