Cardiac arrest occurs in >400 000 patients in the United States per year, and mortality rates vary across the country. Whether variations in cardiac arrest outcome are the result of differences in hospital or patient characteristics remains understudied. We tested whether hospital-independent factors would account for the difference in outcome between 2 geographically distinct hospitals.
