Researchers analyzed in-hospital mortality rates for 1,190,860 cardiac arrest patients from 2001 through 2009. They found the in-hospital mortality rate decreased each year in that time span, falling from 69.6 percent in 2001 to 57.8 percent in 2009.
Mortality rates declined across all subgroups for gender, age, race and stratification by comorbidity.
