Abstract
A combination of clinical data and broadly available parameters can help to stratify prognosis of patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation with sufficiently high predictive value. Interestingly, a combination of the 3 parameters-age more than 65 years, high lactate, and low pH upon admission-had a sensitivity of 1.0 for a poor outcome after return of spontaneous circulation.
