Trial summary

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.

Study population: An in-hospital cardiac arrest is defined as an arrest that occurs in a hospitalized patient who had a pulse at the time of admission. A hospital is defined as a facility with twenty-four hours a day care including an intensive care unit and an emergency team. Treatment of a cardiac arrest involves initiation of CPR or defibrillation. Data of patients treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest will be collected from 10 hospitals of varying size during 20180101 to 20191231 in Sweden. Data of reported patients treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest during the same time period at each hospital will be extracted from the SRCR .

Who may be able to join

  • All patients after the neonatal period that have been treated for an in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with an in-hospital cardiac arrest that is not treated (do not attempt resuscitation) or patients in the neonatal period.

About this study

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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

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

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

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

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest

    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.

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

  2. Patient characteristics

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

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of In-hospital Cardiac Arrest, run by Dalarna University at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of reported patients treated for in-hospital cardiac arrest (time frame: During hospital stay (retrospective observation january 1 2018 to december 31 2019)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Sep 2023.
