However, little is known about the results of the CPC in Turkey. Objective: This study aimed to determine whether the CPC is associated with the initial rhythm and resuscitation time following resuscitation from in-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods: This study compared the CPCs (CPC 1-2 and CPC 3-4-5) of patients discharged from the hospital after surviving cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) during a 2-year period between June 2013 and June 2015 (at discharge, and at 6th, 12th, 18th, and 24th months) based on the initial rhythm (asystole/pulseless electrical activity and ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia) and resuscitation time (0–14 min and 15–30 min) at the time of arrest. Results: No difference was found between CPC 1-2 and CPC 3-4-5 scores at discharge or at 6th, 12th, 18th, and 24th months in terms of the first rhythm and resuscitation time (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Patients discharged from the hospital following in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were found to have no difference in 2-year CPC scores with respect to cardiac rhythms and resuscitation durations at the onset of resuscitation.
