Frailty and Outcomes Following Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Perioperative Cardiac Arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Frailty is associated with mortality following surgery and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for in-hospital cardiac arrest. Despite the growing focus on frailty as a basis for preoperative risk stratification and concern that CPR in patients with frailty may border on futility, the association between frailty and outcomes following perioperative CPR is unknown.

Objective

To determine the association between frailty and outcomes following perioperative CPR.

Design, setting, and participants

This longitudinal cohort study of patients used the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, including more than 700 participating hospitals in the US, from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2020. Follow-up duration was 30 days. P
