Differences between adult and pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) are well-described. Although most adults are cared for on adult services, pediatric services often admit adults, particularly those with chronic conditions.

Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate adjusted survival outcomes and compare outcomes between age groups (18-21, 22-25, and ≥26 yr old).
