Abstract
This decision aid can be used to help physicians identify patients who are extremely unlikely to benefit from continued resuscitative efforts.

Qualitative standards that can be used to decide whether a prediction rule is suitable for adoption in a clinician's practice are described and applied to 33 reports of prediction rules.

A multivariate analysis revealed that pneumonia, hypotension, renal failure, cancer, and a home-bound life style before hospitalization were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality.

The 6 major stages in the development and testing of a new clinical decision rule are considered and a number of standards within each stage are discussed.

New guidelines regarding initiation and termination of CPR should be instituted in light of poor outcome in patients over 60 years of age with co-morbid conditions, specifically after 10 min of CPR.
Archives of Internal MedicinePredictors of Survival Following In-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
145 Citations1994Kenneth A. Ballew
Investigators of in-hospital CPR should use explicit criteria to describe the conditions studied and report survival for patients who receive basic CPR, and the impact of do-not-resuscitate orders on survival rates must be considered.
JAMAThe Ontario Trial of Active Compression-Decompression Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for In-Hospital and Prehospital Cardiac Arrest
141 Citations1996Ian G. Stiell
ACD CPR did not improve survival or neurologic outcomes in any group of patients with cardiac arrest and exploration of clinically important subgroups failed to identify any patients who appeared to benefit from ACD CPR.
Archives of Internal MedicineIn-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
125 Citations1999Rien de Vos, Rudolph W. Koster +4 more
Time of prearrest morbidity has a prognostic value for survival after CPR and patients at risk for poor survival can be identified on or during hospital admission, but the reliability and validity of the model needs further research.
Archives of Internal MedicineDerivation of a Clinical Decision Rule for the Discontinuation of In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Resuscitations
94 Citations1999Carl van Walraven, Alan J. Forster +1 more
A practical and highly sensitive decision rule has been derived that identifies patients with no chance of surviving in-hospital cardiac arrest and could have been discontinued for 119 patients who did not survive, thereby avoiding 47 days of postresuscitative care.

77 Citations1993Philippe Beuret, François Feihl +4 more
The conclusion is that this study confirms the critical influence of cellular anoxia on prognosis and allows the improved delineation of the situations in which cardiopulmonary resuscitation appears to be hopeless or likely to be successful.
ResuscitationPrediction of failure to survive following in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation: comparison of two predictive instruments
75 Citations1994Shaun T. O’Keeffe, Mark H. Ebell
The PAR score performed better than the PAM index in the identification of patients who are unlikely to survive following CPR, and may provide useful prognostic information to physicians and patients involved with decisions about do-not-resuscitate orders.
CHEST JournalPredicting Death After CPR
66 Citations1995Leon Bialecki, Robert S. Woodward
The CPR outcome can be predicted early during hospital course, which may assist physicians to formulate a do-not-resuscitate order, and low-risk patients can safely be admitted to telemetry units instead of to more costly ICUs.
ResuscitationPrediction of survival from resuscitation: a prognostic index derived from multivariate logistic model analysis
62 Citations1991Thomas H. Marwick, Colin Case +2 more
The factors determining outcome of all cardiopulmonary resuscitations performed at this institution over a 4-year period were identified, and a Cox multivariate regression model was used to design prognostic indices to assess the probability of successful resuscitation and hospital discharge.
Medical Decision MakingFailure of Three Decision Rules to Predict the Outcome of In-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
54 Citations1997Mark H. Ebell, James A. Kruse +3 more
None of the decision-support tools studied was able to effectively discriminate between survivors and non-survivors for the outcomes of immediate survival and survival to discharge following in-hospital CPR.
Critical Care MedicineResuscitation in the hospital: Differential relationships between age and survival across rhythms
40 Citations1999David C. Parish, Francis C. Dane +3 more
Whether age is related to increased or decreased survival, or is unrelated to survival, depends on the rhythm extant when resuscitation attempts begin, and whether it is affected by initial rhythm.
PubMedThe effect of the APACHE II score and selected clinical variables on survival following cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
40 Citations1993Mark H. Ebell, P. S. Preston
The APACHE II score is a useful predictor of failure to survive to discharge following CPR and physicians should use such prediagnostic information to provide patients with informed consent when discussing do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders.

The finding suggests that more meetings with families and patients and openness about problems and complications during chronic dialysis and follow-up and counseling of families after the patients have died should be helpful.
