Brief Summary
To this date no clinical evaluation reports of the dynamics in the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) for those patients who suffer an in-hospital cardiac arrest, IHCA, exists. This process needs to be investigated in order to optimize the future care of these patients. Research Questions H1: Patients that suffer an IHCA has had higher NEWS in the preceding 24 hours from the event compared to those who did not suffer an IHCA. H2: The dynamics in the NEWS, differs between the patients that suffer an IHCA and those who do not in the preceding 24 hours from the event.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Dynamics in the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in the 24 hours preceding an in-hospital cardiac arrest.
All documented National Early Warning Scores (NEWS) on eligible patients admitted to a hospital ward will be collected. The NEWS will be divided into different timespans in the 24 hours preceding the in-hospital cardiac arrest. A control group of patients will also have their NEWS collected. The NEWS of the control group and the cases will then be entered into the hypothesis testing. The aim is to find some dynamics in the NEWS that separates the patients that suffers an in-hospital cardiac arrest from those who do not in the 24 hours preceding the event.
24 hours preceding an in-hospital cardiac arrest
Study Arms (2)
Cases
150 patients that suffered an in-hospital cardiac arrest in a hospital ward.
Controls
300 patients that did not suffer an in-hospital cardiac arrest but was treated in a hospital ward.
