a

Event characteristics adjusted for in the model were weekend, night, witnessed, presence of a hospital-wide arrest response team, and causes of arrest that occurred in >1% of events.

b

Includes number of co-morbidities, illness category, and pre-existing conditions from Table 1.

c

Includes number of interventions and all interventions in Table 1 except “assisted or mechanical intervention,” which was omitted due to significant collinearity with invasive airway.
