| Survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurologic outcome2,3 | 420 (64.6%) | 176 (39.1%) | 596 (54.2%) |
| Survival to hospital discharge with PCPC of 1, 2, or no worse than baseline2 | 385 (59.2%) | 160 (35.6%) | 545 (49.5%) |
| Change from baseline to hospital discharge in functional status of survivors2 | 1.0 [0.0, 3.0] | 2.0 [0.0, 3.0] | 1.0 [0.0, 3.0] |
| New morbidity among survivors4 | 134/453 (29.6%) | 62/189 (32.8%) | 196/642 (30.5%) |
1
Return of spontaneous circulation reported is the immediate outcome of the resuscitation event.
2
Baseline PCPC and FSS represent subject status prior to the event leading to hospitalization.
3
Favourable neurologic outcome is defined as Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) no more than moderate disability (PCPC of 1, 2, or 3) or no worse than baseline.
4
New morbidity among survivors is defined as a worsening from baseline functional status by 3 points or more.
