Number of hospital-free days: a clinically relevant patient-centered outcome in cardiac arrest patients
Authors' conclusion
HFD-d90 is a clinically relevant and potentially useful outcome to be used in future trials in CA patients.
Study context

- Cardiac arrest patients
- Participants
- 253 patients
- Outcome
