Methods:
For the purpose of this study, data were obtained from National
Inpatient Sample from January 2007 to December 2017. In-hospital SCA was
identified using International Classification of Disease, 9th Revision,
Clinical Modification and International Classification of Disease, 10th
Revision, Clinical Modification codes of 99.60, 99.63 and 5A12012. ESRD
patients were subsequently identified using codes of 585.6 and N18.6.
Baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared among ESRD and
non-ESRD patients in crude and propensity matched (PS) cohorts.
Predictors of mortality in ESRD patients after an in-hospital SCA event
were analyzed using a multivariate logistic regression model.
