Hospital‐level variation in outcomes after in‐hospital cardiac arrest in Denmark

Abstract

In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. 1,2 Previous studies have shown substantial variation in outcomes after IHCA across hospitals in the United States, including return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Moreover, hospitals vary in their ability to improve outcomes over time. 3,5 Hospital-level variation in

“… 17 However, none of these have assessed whether the deaths were due to IHCA. Further, there is a known variation between hospitals, 18. , 19.…”

A Importância Da Aplicação Técnica Nos Casos De Parada Cardiorrespiratória No Ambiente Fora E Intra-Hospitalar E Do Manejo Correto De Pacientes Com Retorno De Circulação Espontânea

“…A primeira diretriz do Protocolo de Registro Utstein para ambiente intra-hospitalar foi publicada em 1997 22 , oferecendo uma comparação confiável das características, tendências em intervenções e resultados de PCR intra-hospitalar entre hospitais, regiões e países, com mais 20 anos de dados padronizados e resultados disponíveis desde então. Esses registros podem ser considerados um recurso de grande relevância que, por meio de estudos observacionais, auxiliam a avaliar e aplicar estratégias e diretrizes de ressuscitação 23,24 .…”

In-hospital cardiac arrest: the state of the art

“…The first Utstein-style reporting guideline for IHCA was published in 1997 [ 14 ]. The guideline was designed to enable reliable comparison of the characteristics, trends in interventions and outcomes from IHCA between hospitals, regions and countries [ 15 , 16 ]. Twenty years of standardised reports and outcome data of IHCA have been available since its publication.…”
