In-hospital @entity1167 can contribute significantly to publicly reported mortality rates. Systems to improve mortality are being implemented across all specialties. A review was conducted for all surgical @entity1 >18 years of age who experienced a "Code Blue" event between January 1, 2013 and @entity20684 , 2014 at a university hospital. A previously validated @entity3517 ( @entity3517 ) using routine vital signs and neurologic status was calculated at regular intervals preceding the event. In 62 @entity1 , the most common causes of arrest included @entity1576 , @entity943 , @entity295 , @entity548 , and @entity1224 , but remained unknown in 27 per cent of cases. A total of 56.5 per cent of @entity1 died before hospital discharge. In-hospital @entity204 was associated with American Society of Anesthesiologists status (P = 0.039) and acute versus elective admission (P = 0.003). Increasing @entity3517 on admission, 24 hours before the event, the event-day, and a maximum @entity3517 score on the day of the event increased the odds of @entity204 . Max @entity3517 remained associated with @entity204 after multivariate analysis (odds ratio 1.39, P = 0.025). Simple and easy to implement warning scores such as @entity3517 can identify surgical @entity1 at risk of @entity204 after arrest. Such recognition may provide an opportunity for clinical intervention resulting in improved @entity1 outcomes and hospital mortality rates.
