Key Points Question How does a previously developed clinical decision rule (termed the UN10 rule ), designed to predict futility during in-hospital cardiac arrest, perform in a large national sample? Findings In this cohort study of 96 509 patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest, the percentage of patients who satisfied the UN10 rule for futility and survived (6.3%) was substantially higher than the initial derivation cohort (0%) and single-center validation cohort (1.1%). Meaning A revalidation study of the UN10 rule in a large cohort demonstrated moderate predictive ability to identify patients with poor survival; however, survival rates of patients who met all UN10 criteria were much higher than previous studies.
