Charlson Comorbidity Index and Outcome of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Geriatric Patients in Hong Kong

A Retrospective Review on Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) as a Predictor of Return-of-spontaneous-circulation and Survival-to-discharge of Geriatric In-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in a Regional Acute Hospital in Hong Kong

• Status: Completed
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 394 (actual)

• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the factors affecting the outcome (survival) of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in older persons in a hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Whether age would affect outcome * Whether Charlson Comorbidity Index would affect outcome * Whether the conditions (e.g. heart rhythm) immediately before resuscitation would affect survival. Researchers would compare the patients who deceased with the patients who survived.

Detailed description

The goal of this review was to investigate the impact of age, existing medical conditions. and other factors before cardiac arrest in predicting outcome of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of older persons. It was conducted on all patients aged ≥ 65, who underwent CPR in acute medical and geriatric wards (excluding Intensive Care Unit) in United Christian Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018.
