An observational study in In-hospital Cardiac Arrest, sponsored by Dalarna University. Completed at 1 site in Sweden. Open to participants aged 29 Days and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-09-07.
Sponsored by Dalarna University · Observational
The study will have an observational retrospective cross-sectional design. Patient records and hospital administrative systems at 10 hospitals in Sweden will be searched using ICD-codes to find all patients treated for an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) during the time period of 20180101 to 20191231. All found patients will be cross-checked against reported patients in the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (SRCR). Any differences in patient characteristics or regarding situation factors between reported and non-reported patients will be evaluated. Non-reported patients will be retrospectively reported to the registry. An incidence of IHCA will be calculated using the number of patients treated for IHCA divided by number of hospital admissions during the specific time period. Selected variables will be evaluated regarding compliance to report and regarding concordance with patient records. All missing data will be described and evaluated. Local reporting procedures at each hospital will be described and evaluated regarding compliance to report and regarding missing data.
966 studies on the registry are indexed under Heart Arrest; 227 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 1,109 is above the median of 200 across 383 observational studies indexed under Heart Arrest.

An in-hospital cardiac arrest is defined as an arrest that occurs in a hospitalized patient who had a pulse at the time of admission. A hospital is defined as a facility with twenty-four hours a day care including an intensive care unit and an emergency team. Treatment of a cardiac arrest involves initiation of CPR or defibrillation. Data of patients treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest will be collected from 10 hospitals of varying size during 20180101 to 20191231 in Sweden. Data of reported patients treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest during the same time period at each hospital will be extracted from the SRCR .
