Acharya P, Ranka S, Sethi P, et al. - In‐hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) occurred in 5.9% of patients with COVID‐19. The following are identified as independent predictors of IHCA: older age, Black race, and Hispanic ethnicity.

• The study cohort comprises 8,518 patients with COVID‐19.

• Although patients not in the ICU had much lower incidence than those in ICU patients, nearly one‐quarter of IHCA events occur in these patients.

• A substantially lower survival to discharge rate was recorded for IHCA events occurring in those not in ICU.

• Other predictors included oxygen use on admission, quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score on admission, and hypertension.
