Description

I did not find any relevant information in the ED, HOSP and ICU modules. I tried to determine by time or transfer, but could not find any useful information. For example, the cardiac arrest itself may occur outside the hospital and then be admitted to the hospital or ICU.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the ED, HOSP, and ICU modules, focusing on the time and transfer information mentioned in the issue. Determine whether those fields can distinguish an in-hospital from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and document the available method or the limitation if the data cannot support that distinction.
