Predictors Associated with Survival Among Elderly In-Patients Who Receive Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Japan: An Observational Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about the outcomes of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in Asian populations including elderly patients in Japan.

Objective

To determine the survival outcome of in-hospital CPR among elderly patients in Japan, and to identify predictors associated with survival.

Design

Retrospective cohort study in 81 Japanese hospitals from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2016.

Patients

We included elderly patients (age ≥ 65 years) who received CPR after 2 days of hospitalization.

Main measures

The primary outcome was survival at hospital discharge and the secondary outcomes were the discharge disposition and consciousness level of patients who survived to hospital discharge. To determine predictors associated with survival after in-h
