Enter the published formula inputs below to calculate and interpret this score.
Clinical inputs
Allowed range: 18–110 years
20 years or younger scores 2. Each completed 10-year step above 20 adds 2, so 29 years stays 2 and 30 years is 4.
Allowed range: 0–300 minutes
Each completed 10 minutes adds 2 points. 9 minutes adds none and 10 minutes adds 2.

Tonna JE et al. Resuscitation using ECPR during in-hospital cardiac arrest (RESCUE-IHCA) mortality prediction score and external validation. JACC Cardiovasc Interv. DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2021.09.032. PMID: 35033471. Table 2: age 20 years or younger scores 2 and each additional 10 years scores 2, applied to each completed 10-year step above 20; preexisting renal insufficiency 8; 15:00–22:59 scores 4; 23:00–06:59 scores 13; medical cardiac −2; surgical cardiac −11; surgical non-cardiac −6; pulseless electrical activity −1; pulseless ventricular tachycardia −5; ventricular fibrillation −8; palpable pulse at the start −5; each 10 minutes of arrest scores 2, applied to each completed 10 minutes. Asystole, medical non-cardiac illness, and 07:00–14:59 are the remaining Table 3 categories and score 0. A higher point total corresponds to a higher probability of death. Figure 3 draws that probability from 0.22 to 0.99 and does not print an equation, so the result is the point total. (2022)
