Conclusion:
In our large nationally representative sample of in-hospital SCA
patients, we have shown that in adjusted analysis, inpatient mortality
is similar in ESRD and non-ESRD patients. ESRD patients who sustained an
in-hospital SCA have higher burden of key co-morbidities. Mortality has
been on the downtrend trend after an in-hospital SCA event in both ESRD
and non-ESRD patients over our study years.
