Highlights
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a global medical problem
The newly-developed simplified out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and cardiac arrest hospital prognosis scores used for prognostication of patients admitted alive have not been validated externally
Score availability was significantly higher in the simplified scores than in the original ones and was highest in the simplified CAHP (sCAHP) score (76%)
Summary
Adult patients resuscitated and admitted to hospitals after intrinsic OHCA (n=2,428, age ≥18 years) were selected from a prospectively collected Japanese database (January 2012–March 2013). Discrimination and calibration were assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and the HosmerLemeshow goodness-of-fit test with calibration plot, respectively
