Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Trends in Incidence and Outcomes of Cardiac Arrest Occurring in Swedish ICUs
Authors' conclusion
In our nationwide Swedish cohort, the adjusted incidence of ICU-CA remained unchanged between 2011 and 2017. More than two-thirds of patients with ICU-CA did not survive to 6 months following admission, but a slight improvement appears to have occurred over time.
