Aim: To perform a review of the literature on the association between socioeconomic status and risk of and outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Data sources: PubMed and Embase were searched on January 24, 2020 for studies evaluating the association between socioeconomic status and risk of and/or outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Two reviewers independently screened the titles/abstracts and selected full texts for relevance. Data were extracted from included studies. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality In Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool. Results: The literature search yielded 4960 unique records. We included nine studies evaluating the association between socioeconomic status and risk of and/or outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest. All studies were observational cohort studies, of which seven were from the USA. Seven studies were in an adult population, while two studies were in a pediatric population. Results were overall inconsistent although some studies found a higher in-hospital cardiac arrest incidence in patients from low-income communities. There was no clear association between other socioeconomic factors (i.e. education, occupation, marital status, and insurance) and risk of or outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Due to the scarcity and heterogeneity of available studies, meta-analyses were not performed. Conclusion: There are limited data regarding the association between socioeconomic status and risk of and outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest and further research is warranted. Understanding the association between socioeconomic status and in-hospital cardiac arrest may reveal strategies to mitigate potential inequalities. |
