Table 2. Organ dysfunction scores by arrest type.

Patients who suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest had more organ dysfunction and more severe multiorgan failure in the first 24 hrs after admission.

	CA N= 21	RA N= 39	p-value
Number of organ dysfunctions	3.5 ± 0.2	1.5 ± 0.2	< 0.001
PELOD	32 ± 3	9 ± 1.5	< 0.001
P-MODS	6 ± 3	1 ± 2	< 0.01

Data expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. CA= cardiorespiratory arrest, RA= respiratory arrest.
