In a review of 292 hospital patients who had cardiac arrests over a period of two and a half years patients aged 60 and over were contrasted with those under 60, based on a 50-item clinical questionary completed at the time of the episode. Survival rates were identical (23%) in these two groups. On contrasting patients who survived with those who did not it was again found that age did not influence outcome. Patients with multiple arrests or without cardiographic evidence of ventricular standstill were much more likely to recover. Whether or not a doctor initiated therapy did not affect survival.
在一项对292名在两年半时间内发生心脏骤停的住院患者的回顾研究中，根据发病时完成的一份包含50个项目的临床问卷，将60岁及以上的患者与60岁以下的患者进行了对比。这两组的生存率相同（23%）。在对比存活患者和未存活患者时，再次发现年龄并不影响预后。有多次心脏骤停或无心电图显示心室停搏的患者更有可能康复。医生是否启动治疗并不影响生存。
