LOINC short name : Sudden cardiac arrest proto;
LOINC description : This measure assesses if a patient died of sudden cardiac arrest by reviewing symptoms
prior to death, timing of death, possible cardiac origin via autopsy evidence, and/or
demonstration of a history of cardiac disease via physician questionnaire and medical
records review. These protocols should be completed for cases where patients did not
survive a sudden cardiac arrest. The physician's questionnaire from the Atherosclerosis
Risk in Communities (ARIC) study is to be completed by the physician who signed the
death certificate and/or the patient's physician. The second protocol, from the Multi-Ethnic
Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), provides items that should be abstracted from the
patient's hospital records.;
