ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Co-morbidities affect survival after in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCA). The risk population for IHCA, i.e. the hospitalised patients, have a doubled increase in co-morbidities over time. A similar increase in co-morbidities among IHCAs might explain the relatively poor survival ratios despite improved care.AIM:
To assess changes in the burden of baseline age-adjusted Charlson co-morbidity index (ACCI) scores among IHCAs as well as to assess its impact on survival in three time periods. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
All patients ≥18 years suffering an IHCA at Karolinska University Hospital between 1st January 2007 and 31st December 2015 were included. Data regarding the IHCA, patient characteristics, ACCI and 30â¯day survival were obtained from electronic patient records. Parameters included in ACCI were assessed as ICD-10 codes in the medical file at admission to hospital. The median ACCI with interquartile range (IQR) was presented per year. ACCI was categorised into low 0-2points, moderate 3-5points, high 6-8 points and very high ≥9 points. Differences in survival between 2007 and 2009 and 2010-2012 as well as 2013-2015 were stratified per ACCI category and assessed with adjusted logistic regression models and presented as Odds Ratios with 95% Confidence Intervals (OR, 95% CI). Adjustments included hospital site, sex, first rhythm, ECG-surveillance, witnessed or not, and location of the IHCA.RESULTS:
In all, 1373 patients suffered an IHCA, of whom 376 (27%) survived at least 30â¯days. The ACCI remained almost constant over time at median 4, IQR 3-6. Patients with low or moderate ACCI more than doubled their survival in 2013-2015 compared to 2007-2009 (adjusted OR 2.61 95% CI1.38-4.94 and OR 1.87 95% CI 1.14-3.09 respectively).CONCLUSION:
This cohort study illuminates an almost constant burden of co-morbidities over time among patients suffering an IHCA. Further, the study highlights that 30-day survival has almost doubled from 2007 to 2009 to 2013-2015 among those with low to moderate AccI.Palavras-chave
