Childhood obesity and survival after in-hospital pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation

We hypothesized that childhood obesity would be associated with decreased likelihood of survival to hospital discharge after in-hospital, pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We reviewed 1477 consecutive, pediatric, CPR index events (defined as the first CPR event during a hospitalization...
