Abbreviations: CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ICU LOS, length of stay in intensive care unit.

^*Includes multiple trauma and gun shot wounds to the head.

^†Overall P value across all cause of death categories. When individual comparisons are made between groups, stroke is significantly different from both trauma and “other.”
