Table 2.
Accuracy of hospital-based sources with respect to total OHCA cases in the NALHN OHCA registry expected to be identified by each source, 2011–16.
| Total yield (n) | True positive (n) | Total OHCA (n) | Sensitivity (%) | PPV (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency Department coding dataset | 390 | 305 | 357 admitted to Emergency Department | 85.4 | 78.2 |
| Cardiac catheterisation registries | 197 | 145 | 163 underwent cardiac catheterisation | 88.96 | 73.6 |
| Intensive Care Unit registry | 250 | 228 | 253 admitted to Intensive Care Unit | 90.1 | 91.2 |
| ICD-10 coding dataset | 760 | 251 | 316 admitted as in-patient | 79.4 | 33.0 |
ED, Emergency Department; ICU, Intensive Care Unit. Sensitivity = true positive/total OHCA; PPV, Positive Predictive Value = true positive/total yield. Refer Fig. 2 for search criteria used to generate each source.
