Race and Resuscitation: Evolving Trends in Survival After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest has improved over the past 2 decades, yet prior studies have documented worse outcomes among Black compared with White patients. Although the racial survival gap narrowed through 2014, it remains unclear whether disparities persist in more recent years.

Methods

We conducted an observational cohort study using in-hospital cardiac arrest data from the Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry from 2015 to 2022. Multivariable models using generalized estimating equations evaluated the association between patient race (White versus Black) and survival to hospital discharge, accounting for clustering by hospital. Secondary outcomes included return of spontaneous circulation and favorable neurological survival (ie, survival
