Long-term survival comparison of patients admitted to the intensive care unit following in-hospital cardiac arrest in perioperative and ward settings. A multicentre retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Perioperative in-hospital cardiac arrests (Perioperative IHCAs) may have better outcomes than IHCAs in the ward (Ward IHCAs), due to enhanced monitoring and faster response. However, quantitative comparisons of their long-term outcomes are lacking, posing challenges for prognostication.

Methods

This retrospective multicentre study included adult intensive care unit (ICU) admissions from theatre/recovery or wards with a diagnosis of cardiac arrest between January 2018 and March 2022. We used data from 175 ICUs in the ANZICS adult patient database. The primary outcome was a survival time of up to 4 years. We used the Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, age, sex, comorbidities, hospital type, treatment limitation
