Resuscitation Predictor Scoring Scale for inhospital cardiac arrests.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:The purpose of this study was to determine the key factors influencing survival from cardiopulmonary resuscitation attempts and to produce a survival predictor scale for use during a resuscitation attempt. METHOD:Bivariate analysis of individual survival predictors and a prospective analysis of survival based on logistic regression models. Included in this seven year study (1993-2000) were 2567 inhospital resuscitation calls of which 1633 received full cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Immediate, 24 hour and discharge survival rates were the main outcome measures with additional analysis for the development of the Resuscitation Predictor Scoring Scale (RPS Scale). RESULTS:The immediate survival rate was 41%, 28% at 24 hours, and 19% by discharge. Multivariate analysis showed the ma
