Abstract
Data collection and feedback registries have advanced our understanding of care strategies and outcomes for in-hospital cardiac arrest.1,2 Several investigations have attempted to broaden understanding of outcomes among nonregistry hospitals using billing codes for cardiac arrest or cardiopulmonary resuscitation to identify cases of in-hospital cardiac arrest.3-5 However, the validity of using administrative billing data to study in-hospital cardiac arrest remains unknown.Keywords
