Derivation and Internal Validation of a Mortality Prediction Tool for Initial Survivors of Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To develop a clinical prediction score for predicting mortality in children following return of spontaneous circulation after in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Design

Observational study using prospectively collected data.

Setting

This was an analysis using data from the Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry between January 2000 and December 2015.

Patients

Pediatric patients (< 18 yr old) who achieved return of spontaneous circulation.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Patients were divided into a derivation (3/4) and validation (1/4) cohort. A prediction score was developed using a multivariable logistic regression model with backward selection. Patient and event charact
