Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Prediction of outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction with cardiac arrest often presents difficult clinical decision making. Using the observed results from our institution's data, we introduce a customized, computer-based decision support tool to assist in evaluating and predicting outcomes in such situations. We conclude that this tool can be beneficial to clinicians in decision making or triage of this condition.
