Predicting the probability of good neurological outcome after in-hospital cardiac arrest based on prearrest factors: validation of the good outcome following attempted resuscitation 2 (GO-FAR 2) score

The Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation (GO-FAR) 2 score is a prognostic tool developed to support decision-making for do-not-attempt-resuscitation (DNAR) orders by predicting neurological outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) based on prearrest variables. However, this scoring...

Description
Summary:The Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation (GO-FAR) 2 score is a prognostic tool developed to support decision-making for do-not-attempt-resuscitation (DNAR) orders by predicting neurological outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) based on prearrest variables. However, this scoring system requires further validation. We aimed to validate the GO-FAR 2 score for predicting good neurological outcome in Korean patients with IHCA. A single-centre registry of adult patients with IHCA from 2013 to 2017 was analysed. The primary outcome was discharge with good neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category score of 1 or 2). The patients were divided into four categories according to the GO-FAR 2 score: very poor (≥ 5), poor (2–4), average (− 3 to 1), and above-average (
