The Cardiac Arrest Survival Score: A Predictive Algorithm for In-Hospital Mortality after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with high mortality. Current methods for predicting mortality post-arrest require data unavailable at the time of initial medical contact. We created and validated a risk prediction model for patients experiencing OHCA who achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) which relies only on objective information routinely obtained at first medical contact.
