A. Incidence of in-hospital CPR. The incidence of in-hospital CPR is higher for non-white individuals. There is a clinically insignificant but statistically significant positive linear trend in incidence when considering all patients 1992-2005 (p <0.001). B. Deaths following in-hospital CPR as a percentage of all hospital deaths. The percentage of dying patients receiving CPR prior to death is increasing, and is higher for non-white individuals. The linear trend, considering all patients, is highly statistically significant (p<0.001).
