External validation of GO-FAR 2 calculator for outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest with comparison to GO-FAR and trial of expanded applications.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Externally validate the GO-FAR 2 tool for predicting survival with good neurologic function after in-hospital cardiac arrest with comparison to the original GO-FAR tool. Additionally, we collected qualitative descriptors and performed exploratory analyses with various levels of neurologic function and discharge destination.

Methods

Retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent in-hospital resuscitation after cardiac arrest during the calendar years 2016-2019 in our institution (n = 397). GO-FAR and GO-FAR 2 scores were calculated based on information available in the medical record at the time of hospital admission. Cerebral performance category (CPC) scores at the time of admission and discharge were assessed by chart review.

Results

The GO-FAR
