External Validation of 3 Prediction Models for Mortality in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survivors: A Retrospective Multicenter Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Predictive models such as the Cardiac Arrest Survival Score (CASS), FACTOR score, and Survival After ROSC in Cardiac Arrest (SARICA) have been developed to estimate in-hospital mortality in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors. This study aims to externally validate and compare their predictive performance to determine their clinical utility upon emergency department admission.

Methods

This retrospective multicenter cohort study included out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients admitted to the National Taiwan University Hospital and its branches between January 2016 and March 2024. The outcome was in-hospital mortality following intensive care unit admission. We assessed the CASS, FACTOR, and a modified SARICA (mSARICA) score using the area under the receiver o
