Abstract
The management of the increasing comorbidity and multi-morbidity burden is a key challenge in 21st century healthcare delivery [1]. In cardiac arrest, patients with a higher number of comorbidities are less likely to survive a resuscitation attempt [2–4]. However, individual comorbidities may influence survival in different directions, such that whilst most comorbidities are associated with worse outcomes, others may have no association or may even be associated with improved outcome [5–7]. Observational studies report that resuscitation attempts are made in an increasing number of comorbid patients [2,8].
