Results:
A total of 1,412,985 patients sustained in-hospital SCA during our study
period. ESRD patients with in-hospital SCA were younger and had a higher
burden of key co-morbidities. Mortality was similar in ESRD and non-ESRD
patients in PS matched cohort (70.4% vs. 70.7%, p = 0.45) with an
overall downward trend over our study years. Advanced age, Black race,
diabetes, hypertension and peripheral vascular disease were
independently associated with increased mortality in ESRD patients after
an in-hospital SCA event.
