Survival Differences in Asian and Hispanic Patients With In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Although they are fast-growing populations in the United States, little is known about survival outcomes of Hispanic and Asian patients after in-hospital cardiac arrest. In Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation, we identified Asian, Hispanic, and White adults with in-hospital cardiac arrest during 2005 to 2023. Using multivariable models, we compared rates of survival to discharge separately for Asian and Hispanic patients versus White patients, as well as rates of sustained return of spontaneous circulation for ≥20 minutes and favorable neurologic survival as secondary outcomes. Of 189 557 in-hospital cardiac arrests, 167 640 (88.4%), 16 800 (8.9%), and 5117 (2.7%) patients were White, Hispanic, and Asian, respectively. Compared with the survival rate to discharge for White patients (22.0%), rates were lower for Hispanic (19.4%; adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.93 [95% CI, 0.89-0.97];
