Prognosis of cardiac arrest in home care clients and nursing home residents: A population-level retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To evaluate the prognosis of 30-day survival post-cardiac arrest among patients receiving home care and nursing home residents.

Methods

We conducted a population-level retrospective cohort study of community-dwelling adults (≥18 years) who received cardiac arrest care at a hospital in Ontario, Canada, between 2006 to 2018. We linked population-based health datasets using the Home Care Dataset to identify patients receiving home care and the Continuing Care Reporting System to identify nursing home residents. We included both out-of-hospital and in-hospital cardiac arrests. We determined unadjusted and adjusted associations using logistic regression after adjusting for age and sex. We converted relative measures to absolute risks.

Results

Our cohort contained 86,83
