Figure 2. Relationship between 12-month Pediatric Resuscitation after Cardiac Arrest (PRCA) score (range 0–21) and v Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) scores (range 0–5) at hospital discharge.

Figure 2

Data are presented for all cases (left bar), in-hospital (IH) (middle bar), and out-of-hospital (OH) (right bar) groups, as box and whisker plots; number of cases in each group are shown along the X axis. Each shaded box represents the interquartile range (IQR) (middle one-half of the data), the horizontal line within the box is the median, and symbols (◇) are means; upper and lower whiskers represent the maximum and minimum values, excluding outliers (defined as data points more than 1.5 IQRs from the box). Higher PRCA scores indicate more severe neurologic impairment. Overall there is a strong relationship between hospital discharge PCPC scores and 12-month PRCA scores (r = 0.74, Pearson correlation coefficient, p < 0.0001), but individual outlying cases are evident.
