Coverage and Validity of the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Regarding In-hospital Cardiac Arrest

The study will have an observational retrospective cross-sectional design. Patient records and hospital administrative systems at 10 hospitals in Sweden will be searched using ICD-codes to find all patients treated for an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) during the time period of 20180101 to 20191231. All found patients will be cross-checked against reported patients in the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (SRCR). Any differences in patient characteristics or regarding situation factors between reported and non-reported patients will be evaluated. Non-reported patients will be retrospectively reported to the registry. An incidence of IHCA will be calculated using the number of patients treated for IHCA divided by number of hospital admissions during the specific time period. Selected variables will be evaluated regarding compliance to report and regarding concordance with patient records. All missing data will be described and evaluated. Local reporting procedures at each hospital will be described and evaluated regarding compliance to report and regarding missing data.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of reported patients treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest

    Time frame: During hospital stay (retrospective observation january 1 2018 to december 31 2019)

    To evaluate the proportion of patients treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest that are reported to the SRCR

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest

    Time frame: During hospital stay (retrospective observation january 1 2018 to december 31 2019)

    To calculate an incidence of number of patients treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest based on number of hospital admissions during a specific time period.

  2. Patient characteristics

    Time frame: During hospital stay (retrospective observation january 1 2018 to december 31 2019)

    To evaluate possible differences in patient characteristics or situation factors between reported and non-reported patients treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Other outcomes

  1. Reporting procedures at hospitals

    Time frame: At study start (interview with CPR coordinators)

    To describe reporting procedures at each hospital in relation to coverage of patients treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest.
