Outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest in COVID-19 patients: A proportional prevalence meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited epidemiological data are available on the outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) in COVID-19 patients.

Methods

We performed literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Ovid to identify research articles that studied outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest in COVID-19 patients. The primary outcome was survival at discharge. Secondary outcomes included return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and types of cardiac arrest. Pooled percentages with a 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for the prevalence of outcomes.

Results

A total of 7,891 COVID patients were included in the study. There were 621 (pooled prevalence 8%, 95% CI 4-13%) cardiac arrest patients. There were 52 (pooled prevalence 3.0%; 95% CI 0.0-10.0%) patients that surviv
