In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) has high rates of morbidity and mortality, with limited understanding of how race/ethnicity and sex impact patient outcomes and treatment.
A study analyzed data from over 207,000 IHCA patients, revealing that Black and Hispanic patients had higher mortality rates compared to White males, especially in specific cardiac arrest types.
The findings highlight significant disparities in treatment and outcomes based on race and sex, indicating a need for targeted interventions to address these inequities in healthcare.
