Abstract
OBJECTIVE: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) presents a critical challenge with low survival rates and limited prediction tools. Despite advances in resuscitation, predicting 30-day survival remains difficult, and current methods lack interpretability for timely decision-making. This study developed a machine learning (ML) model to predict 30-day survival after IHCA, using peri-arrest variables available on the rescue team's arrival, while ensuring a balance between predictive accuracy and clinical interpretability through Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP).
