Popis: Objective: To assess whether survival rates for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) vary across hospitals depending on whether resuscitations are typically led by an attending physician, a physician trainee, or a nonphysician. Patients and Methods: In 2018, we conducted a survey of hospitals participating in the national Get with the Guidelines – Resuscitation registry for IHCA. Using responses from the question “Who typically leads codes at your institution?” we categorized hospitals on the basis of who typically leads their resuscitations: attending physician, physician trainee, or nonphysician. We then compared risk-adjusted hospital rates of return of spontaneous circulation, survival to discharge, and favorable neurological survival from 2015 to 2017 between these 3 hospital groups by using multivariable hierarchical regression. Results: Overall, 193 hospitals completed the study survey, representing a total of 44,477 IHCAs (mean age, 65.0±15.5 years; 40.8% were women). Most hospitals had resuscitations led by physicians, with 121 (62.7%) led by an attending physician, 58 (30.0%) by a physician trainee, and 14 (7.3%) by a nonphysician. The risk-standardized rates of survival to discharge were similar across hospitals, regardless of whether resuscitations were typically led by an attending physician, a physician trainee, or a nonphysician (25.6%±4.8%, 25.9%±4.7%, and 25.7%±3.6%, respectively; P=.88). Similarly, there were no differences between the 3 groups in risk-adjusted rates of return of spontaneous circulation (71.7%±6.3%, 73%±6.3%, and 73.4%±6.4%; P=.30) and favorable neurological survival (21.6%±7.1%, 22.7%±6.1%, and 20.9%±6.5%; P=.50). Conclusion: In hospitals in a national IHCA registry, IHCA resuscitations were usually led by physicians. However, there was no association between a hospital’s typical resuscitation team leader credentials and IHCA survival outcomes.
