Aims: To estimate the prevalence of children admitted after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) to UK and Republic of Ireland (RoI) Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) and factors associated with mortality to inform future clinical trial feasibility. Method: Observational study using a prospectively collected dataset of the Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet) of 33 UK and RoI PICUs (January 2003 to June 2010). Cases (0 to <16 years), with documented OHCA surviving to PICU admission and requiring mechanical ventilation were included. Main outcomes were prevalence for admission and death within PICU. Factors associated with mortality were examined with multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: 827 of 111,170 admissio...
