How long Heart Arrest studies take

Of 218 interventional studies with no phase under Heart Arrest, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting, counting those still running.

Start to primary completion	Every sponsor	Industry	Non-industry
Interventional, no phase	28 mo10–47 · 218 studies	—	29 mo10–47 · 204 studies
Observational	41 mo18–90 · 176 studies	—	39 mo19–90 · 169 studies

Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study.
