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.
