The ED-PLANN Score: A Simple Risk Stratification Tool for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests Derived from Emergency Departments in Korea.

ABSTRACT: Early risk stratification of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with insufficient information in emergency departments (ED) is difficult but critical in improving intensive care resource allocation. This study aimed to develop a simple risk stratification score using initial information in the ED. Adult patients who had OHCA with medical etiology from 2016 to 2020 were enrolled from the Korean Cardiac Arrest Research Consortium (KoCARC) database. To develop a scoring system, a backward logistic regression analysis was conducted. The developed scoring system was validated in both external dataset and internal bootstrap resampling. A total of 8240 patients were analyzed, including 4712 in the development cohort and 3528 in the external validation cohort. An ED-PLANN score (range
