Correlation between hospital rates of survival to discharge and long-term survival for in-hospital cardiac arrest: Insights from Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation registry.
Article in Resuscitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimGiven challenges in collecting long-term outcomes for survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), most studies have focused on in-hospital survival. We evaluated the correlation between a hospital's risk-standardized survival rate (RSSR) at hospital discharge for IHCA with its RSSR for long-term survival.
methodsWe identified patients ≥65 years of age with IHCA at 472 hospitals in Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation registry during 2000-2012, who could be linked to Medicare files to obtain post-discharge survival data. We constructed hierarchical logistic regression models to compute RSSR at discharge, and 30-day, 1-year, and 3-year RSSRs for each hospital. The association between in-hospital and long-term RSSR was evaluated with weighted Kappa coefficients.
resultsAmong 56,231 Medicare beneficiaries (age 77.2 ± 7.5 years and 25,206 [44.8%] women), 10,536 (18.7%) survived to discharge and 8,485 (15.1%) survived to 30 days after discharge. Median in-hospital, 30-day, 1-year, and 3-year RSSRs were 18.6% (IQR, 16.7-20.4%), 14.9% (13.2-16.7%), 10.3% (9.1-12.1%), and 7.6% (6.8-8.8%), respectively. The weighted Kappa coefficient for the association between a hospital's RSSR at discharge with its 30-day, 1-year, and 3-year RSSRs were 0.72 (95% CI, 0.68-0.76), 0.56 (0.50-0.61), and 0.47 (0.41-0.53), respectively.
conclusionsThere was a strong correlation between a hospital's RSSR at discharge and its 30-day RSSR for IHCA, although this correlation weakens over time. Our findings suggest that a hospital's RSSR at discharge for IHCA may be a reasonable surrogate of its 30-day post-discharge survival and could be used by Medicare to benchmark hospital performance for this condition without collecting 30-day survival data.
