2007, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :With a larger sample it is likely that survival will increase in every other row of these VT/VF groupings; we have therefore included survival estimates of 25–35% as a guide for clinicians. This latest RPS scale retains its high content and face validity in that survival rates are similar to other studies 10–19 and the key predictors of survival are supported in other work, for example age,10,11,20–24 primary mode of arrest,11,25 primary arrhythmia 9–11,13,17,20,22,25,27–30 and duration of resuscitation11,20,23,31,32. In fact, even though a limited number of variables were selected for use in the scale the original regression analysis predicted an overall survival accuracy of 90%.1

2006, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Contrary to older studies, more recent studies have reported more favorable results. Most studies have shown a hospital discharge survival rate ranging from 10% to 29%, and shown age not to be a significant determinant of survival [7–16]. The presence of ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) substantially improves these rates, while relatively few patients who demonstrate asystole survive.
