BackgroundSurvival for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) has declined since the COVID-19 pandemic. Because the burden of COVID-19 was uneven throughout the U.S., it remains unknown if top-performer hospitals in IHCA survival have remained top-performers since the pandemic. MethodsWithin Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation, we identified hospitals with at least 2 years of registry participation pre-pandemic (2017–2019) and post-pandemic (July 2020–2022) and with at least 20 IHCA cases in both periods. Using multivariable hierarchical models with hospital as a random effect and adjusting for patient and arrest characteristics, we calculated risk-standardized survival rates to discharge (RSSR) for IHCA at each hospital during the pre- and post-pandemic periods. We then assessed the correlation between a hospital’s pre-pandemic and post-pandemic RSSR for IHCA, and whether the correlation differed by the proportion of Black or Hispanic IHCA patients at each hospital. ResultsA total of 243 hospitals were included, comprising 122,561 IHCAs (pre-pandemic: 57,601; post-pandemic: 64,960). Pre-pandemic, the mean RSSR was 26.8% (SD, 5.2%) whereas the mean RSSR post-pandemic was 21.7% (SD, 5.5%). There was good correlation between a hospital’s pre- and post-pandemic RSSR: correlation of 0.55. When hospitals were categorized into tertiles based on the proportion of their IHCA patients who were Black or Hispanic, this correlation remained similar: 0.48, 0.68, and 0.45 (interaction P-value: 0.69) for hospitals in the upper, middle and lower tertiles, respectively. ConclusionAlthough the COVID-19 pandemic affected the U.S. unevenly, there was good correlation in a hospital’s performance for IHCA survival before and after the pandemic, even at hospitals caring for a larger proportion of Black and Hispanic patients. Future studies are needed to understand what characteristics of high-performing hospitals pre-pandemic allowed many to continue to excel in the post-pandemic period.
