Popis: Some clinical diagnoses such as sepsis, renal failure, metastatic cancer, house-bound lifestyle, and stroke are associated with worse prognosis after inhospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) [1-3]. But there are a few reports about chronic liver disease, Asian people, and the incidence of IHCA is rarely reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hospital mortality of adult patients who had experienced IHCA by underlying disease and the incidence of IHCA.
