Recent reports on challenges in resuscitation care at hospitals severely affected by the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic raise questions about how the pandemic affected outcomes for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) throughout the U.S. Within Get-With-The-Guidelines-Resuscitation, we conducted a retrospective cohort study to compare IHCA survival during the pre-surge (January 1-February 29), surge (March 1-May 15) and immediate post-surge (May 16-June 30) periods in 2020 compared to 2015–2019. Monthly COVID-19 mortality rates for each hospital’s county were categorized, per 1,000,000 residents, as low (0–10), moderate (11–50), high (51–100), or very high (>100). Using hierarchical regression models, we compared rates of survival to discharge in 2020 vs. 2015–2019 for each period. Of 61,586 IHCAs, 21,208 (4309 in 2020), 26,459 (5949 in 2020), and 13,919 (2686 in 2020) occurred in the pre-surge, surge, and post-surge periods, respectively. During the pre-surge period, 24.2% survived to discharge in 2020 vs. 24.7% in 2015–2019 (adjusted OR, 1.12 [95% CI: 1.02–1.22]). In contrast, during the surge period, 19.6% survived to discharge in 2020 vs. 26.0% in 2015–2019 (adjusted OR, 0.81 [0.75–0.88]). Lower survival was most pronounced in communities with high (28% lower survival) and very high (42% lower survival) monthly COVID-19 mortality rates (interaction P-value<0.001). Resuscitation times were shorter (median: 22 vs. 25 minutes; P<0.001) and delayed epinephrine treatment was more prevalent (11.3% vs. 9.9%; P=0.004) during the surge period. Survival was lower even when patients with confirmed/suspected COVID-19 infection were excluded from analyses. During the post-surge period, survival rates were similar in 2020 vs. 2015–2019 (22.3% vs. 25.8%; adjusted OR, 0.93 [0.83–1.04]), including communities with high COVID-19 mortality (interaction P-value=0.16). Early during the pandemic, rates of survival to discharge for IHCA decreased, even among patients without COVID-19 infection, highlighting the early impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on in-hospital resuscitation.
