Key result
An emergency department cardiac arrest score of ≥2 in patients with STEMI resuscitated from cardiac arrest predicted a 92% (95% CI 65-100%) chance of survival to hospital discharge (P<0.01).

Does a cardiac arrest score predict survival and neurological recovery in patients with ST segment elevation AMI resuscitated from cardiac arrest undergoing primary angioplasty?
p-value: p=< 0.01
A cardiac arrest score of ≥2 strongly predicts survival to discharge and neurological recovery in STEMI patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest undergoing primary angioplasty.
McCullough et al. (2002) conducted a cohort in ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with witnessed cardiac arrest (n=22). Cardiac arrest score vs. Lower cardiac arrest scores was evaluated on Survival to hospital discharge and the degree of neurological recovery during the hospitalization (p=< 0.01). An emergency department cardiac arrest score of ≥2 in patients with STEMI resuscitated from cardiac arrest predicted a 92% (95% CI 65-100%) chance of survival to hospital discharge (P<0.01).
