What is the prevalence and mortality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in hospitalized children with cardiovascular disease compared to those without?
Hospitalized children with cardiovascular disease have a more than 10-fold higher rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation compared to those without, with single-ventricle patients facing particularly high post-CPR mortality.
Elevated CPR rates in pediatric cardiovascular disease hospitalizations warrant vigilance; this cohort study leaves open prevention targets and mechanisms.
