  • Each year in the US, approximately 10% of the 360,000 cardiac arrest patients survive to hospital discharge.
  • Despite great progress in resuscitation medicine, multiple knowledge gaps remain. The COSCA initiative, a patient-provider partnership, sought to develop a consensus core outcome set for cardiac arrest for effectiveness trials.
  • This Consensus Statement outlines the major topic areas and prioritizes the knowledge gaps based on feasibility and potential impact on outcomes.
