Cardiac arrest a clinical prediction guide could help identify patients unlikely to survive to discharge Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest physicians could not predict in-hospital survivors Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest elderly: survival was best from witnessed in-hospital arrest. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest giving information on survival reduced the number of old patients who wanted to be resuscitated Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest a previous stroke, renal failure and current congestive heart failure increased the risk of dying following an arrest Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest amplitude of fibrillation affected outcome. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest increasing age, in-hospital arrest, long CPR time, long total arrest time, history of diabetes or congestive heart failure, or noncardiac arrest increased the risk of dying. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest following CPR a sixth left hospital alive Level of evidence 2a Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest PAR, PAM and APACHE III scores did not predict the outcome of in-hospital cardiac arrest Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date November 2003 Cardiac arrest few patients in a coma post-arrest live longer than a month Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest Death and further arrests were common in patients who survived to be discharged. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest a clinical prediction rule may help identify when to stop resuscitation. Level of evidence 2a Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest increasing doses of epinephrine, increasing age, out-of-hospital arrest and a longer time to resuscitation were associated with a poor neurologic outcome Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest survival: cancer and infection predicted a poor outcome Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003 Cardiac arrest with VF early defibrillation by BLS providers reduced risk of mortality Level of evidence 2a Expiry Date November 2003 Cardiac arrest a prolonged QTc interval increased the risk of dying suddenly Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003
