Abstract Introduction and aim External validations of the Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation (GO-FAR) score have been in populations where Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) is practised. We aim to externally validate the GO-FAR score in a population without a DNAR order. Methods We studied patients ≥ 18 years old who had an In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) with known outcomes at Al Ain Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019, excluding those who died in the emergency department. Studied variables included demography, location, response time, code duration, initial rhythm, primary diagnosis, admission vital signs, GO FAR score variables, discharge status, and functional outcomes as determined by the cerebral performance category score ranging from 1 (good cerebral performance) to 5 (brain death). Results 366 patients were studied; 66.7% were males. The median (IQR) age was 70 (55–81) years. Cardiac and respiratory causes were the primary diagnoses in 89 (24.6%) and 67 (18.5%), respectively. IHCA occurred in critical areas such as the intensive care unit, high dependency unit and coronary care unit in 206 (80.8%) patients. The majority, 308 (91.8%), had a non-shockable rhythm, and a return of spontaneous circulation was achieved in 159 (43.4%) of the patients. Thirty-one (8.5%) patients survived to hospital discharge, and 20 (5.5%) patients had cerebral performance category scores of 1 and 2. The area under the curve of the ROC for survival to discharge with good functional outcome was 0.74 (95% CI 0.59–0.88). The best cut-off point for predicting survival with a good neurological outcome was a GO-FAR score of |
