Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Prognostication of neurologic status among survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrests remains a challenging task for physicians. Although models such as the Cardiac Arrest Survival Post-Resuscitation In-hospital score are useful for predicting neurologic outcomes, they were developed using traditional statistical techniques. In this study, we derive and compare the performance of several machine learning models with each other and with the Cardiac Arrest Survival Post-Resuscitation In-hospital score for predicting the likelihood of favorable neurologic outcomes among survivors of resuscitation.
