Validating the GO-FAR score: predicting in-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes in the Middle East.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and aim

External validations of the Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation (GO-FAR) score have been in populations where Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) is practised. We aim to externally validate the GO-FAR score in a population without a DNAR order.

Methods

We studied patients ≥ 18 years old who had an In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) with known outcomes at Al Ain Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019, excluding those who died in the emergency department. Studied variables included demography, location, response time, code duration, initial rhythm, primary diagnosis, admission vital signs, GO FAR score variables, discharge status, and functional outcomes as determined by the cerebral performance category score ranging from 1 (good cerebral p
