Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To determine the outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for in-hospital cardiac arrest and to identify risk factors associated with survival to the time of hospital discharge. DESIGN: A 2-year prospective cohort study. SETTING: Foothills Medical Centre, a 700-bed tertiary, academic and regional referral centre for Calgary and southern Alberta. PATIENTS: Adult inpatients, excluding those who had cardiac arrest in the Emergency Department or operating room. INTERVENTION: Cardiac resuscitation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Spontaneous return of the pulse with a minimum systolic blood pressure of 80 mm Hg and survival defined as survival to the time of hospital discharge. RESULTS: In 334 patients there were 390 cardiac arrests, of which 200 were primary cardiac arrests and 39 cardiac arrests that occurred while the resuscitation team was in attendance. Of 239 resuscitated patients, 51 (21.3%) survived. Fifteen variables were identified as being associated with survival. This association could be explained, through multivariate analysis, by the effect of the following 3 variables (odds ratio [OR], 95% confidence interval [CI]): initial observed rhythm other than pulseless electrical activity or asystole (OR 17.34, 95% CI 8.2 to 36.8); a patient who was ambulatory and able to provide self-care (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.9 to 7.5); and a spontaneous return of circulation with resuscitation in less than 20 minutes (OR 12.9, 95% CI 4.8 to 20.7). CONCLUSIONS: Survival to hospital discharge after cardiac arrest remains static. Initial cardiac rhythm and duration of resuscitation before spontaneous return of circulation were the most important risk factors for survival. These factors and the patient's functional status are relevant when discussing cardiac resuscitation with patients or when considering whether to discontinue resuscitation efforts.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
