Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Using rapid response system trigger clusters to characterize patterns of clinical deterioration among hospitalized adult patients
Authors' conclusion
We discovered six novel RRS trigger clusters with differing relationships to adverse patient outcomes.
Study context
- Population
- Rapid response system (RRS) events among hospitalized adults, Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry MET module, 2015–2019
- Participants
- 134,406 RRS events
- Exposure
- Cluster 1 vs Cluster 2 vs Cluster 3 vs Cluster 4 vs Cluster 5 vs Cluster 6
- Outcome
- RRS trigger clusters and their association with outcomes (in-hospital cardiac arrest, mortality)
Methodological detailsregistry-based, cluster analysis, multilevel logistic regression
- Registry-based
- Cluster analysis
- Multilevel logistic regression
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
RRS trigger clusters and outcomes
- Six RRS trigger clusters identified
- 6
- Clusters 3 and 6: increased likelihood of in-hospital cardiac arrest
- p < 0.01
- All clusters: increased risk of mortality
- p < 0.01
Observational data: associations, not effects.
