Prospective validation of the Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation (GO-FAR) Score for in-hospital cardiac arrest prognosis
Resuscitation May 14, 2019
Thai TN, et al. - The Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation (GO-FAR) score, which predicts the likelihood of survival to discharge neurologically intact or with minimal deficits (conscious, alert, and able to work) after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), was sought to be prospectively validated in both all Get With the Guidelines — Resuscitation (GWTG-R) Registry hospitals and in a subset of hospitals not part of the GWTG-R registry. The analysis included 62,131 inpatients from 386 hospitals. Findings revealed that accurate classification of patients into risk groups based on their likelihood of survival to discharge with a good neurologic outcome following an episode of IHCA could be done using the GO-FAR score. As IHCA survival increases, there may be a necessity for recalibration using different point score cutoffs.
