Validation of the MIRACLE Score for Prognostication After Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest.

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with very poor clinical outcomes. An optimal pathway of care is yet to be defined, but prognostication is likely to assist in the challenging decision-making required for treatment of this high-risk patient cohort. The MIRACLE score provides a simple method of neuro-prognostication but as yet it has not been externally validated.
