Abstract
also indicating good agreement. When stratified based on whether scores were concordant or discordant, patients discharged home (as opposed to nursing/other care facility) and patients with suspected cardiac etiology of arrest were statistically more likely to have concordant scores. For the in-house database, patients with discordant scores had a statistically higher median CPC score than those with concordant scores (p<0.01 for statistical significance). Conclusions: CPC scores are not always reliably assessed. This reliability is reduced in patients who have worse outcomes, have a non-cardiac etiology of arrest, and are discharged to a location other than home. This is an important limitation to note when interpreting and powering studies using CPC scores as an outcome.
