Introduction: Hypothermia improves neurologic recovery compared to normothermia after resuscitation from out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation, but may or may not be beneficial for patients resuscitated from in-hospital cardiac arrest. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of induced hypothermia in a large cohort of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest.Methods: Retrospective analysis of multi-center prospective cohort of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest enrolled in an ongoing quality improvement project. Included were adults with a pulseless event in an in-patient hospital ward of a participating institution who achieved restoration of spontaneous circulation between 2000 and 2009. The exposure of interest was induced hypothermia. The primary outcome was survival to discharge. The secondary outcome was neurological status at discharge. Analyses evaluated all eligible patients; those with a shockable rhythm; or those with endotracheal tube inserted after resuscitation; and the effect of no hypothermia versus hypothermia (lowest temperature >32 degrees C but
