Sex differences in post cardiac arrest discharge locations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We explored sex-based differences in discharge location after resuscitation from cardiac arrest.

Methods

We performed a single-center retrospective cohort study including patients hospitalized after resuscitation from cardiac arrest from January 2010 to May 2020. We identified patients from a prospective registry, from which we extracted standard demographic and clinical variables. We explored favorable discharge location, defined as discharge to home or acute rehabilitation for survivors to hospital discharge. We tested the association of sex with the residuals of a multivariable logistic regression built using bidirectional selection to control for clinically relevant covariates.

Results

We included 2,278 patients. Mean age was 59 (SD 16), 40% were women,
