Figure 1. Annual trends in the incidence of adult in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United States.

Figure 1.

The average number of index cardiac arrests occurring in hospitalized adult patients between 2008 and 2017 was estimated at 292,000 (95% prediction interval: 217,600, 503,500) cases per year. There was an increase in cardiac arrests over time (incidence rate ratio: 1.03, 95%CI: 1.02, 1.03). Numerical estimates are provided in Table S4.
