Prediction of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in older patients with insomnia: a longitudinal population study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association of insomnia in older patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is not completely elucidated. The current study developed and validated a predictive model for OHCA in older patients using population-based analysis.

Methods

This study used data from the National Health Insurance research database. The cohort included older patients (aged more than 65 years) diagnosed with insomnia and treated with insomnia medications. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze potential OHCA predictors. The model's performance was evaluated via internal and external validations using the receiver operating characteristic curve and confusion matrix indices.

Results

Of the 438,147 older patients with insomnia, 6,931 (1.6%) experien
