Variability in Case-mix Adjusted In-hospital Cardiac Arrest Rates

RM Merchant, L Yang, LB Becker, RA Berg... - Medical ..., 2012 - Background: It is unknown how in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) rates vary across hospitals and predictors of variability. Objectives: Measure variability in IHCA across hospitals and determine if hospital-level factors predict differences in case-mix adjusted event rates.
