CAHP Score Calculator

Cardiac Arrest Hospital Prognosis score for risk stratification after adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Patient information

Complete all fields to calculate the CAHP score and risk group.

years
CAHP is intended for adults.
Use the documented location of the arrest.
Use the first documented rhythm.
Total adrenaline/epinephrine dose given before ROSC.
minutes
Also termed collapse-to-BLS. Enter 0 if immediate; the score applies a minimum of 0.5 minute.
minutes
Also termed BLS-to-ROSC. Enter 0 if immediate; the score applies a minimum of 0.5 minute.
Use the first arterial pH available on admission.
Use with clinical judgement. CAHP supports early risk stratification; it is not a stand-alone decision rule for coronary angiography, continuation of care, or neurological prognostication.

About this calculator

The CAHP score combines seven admission and resuscitation variables: age, arrest setting, initial rhythm, collapse-to-BLS time, BLS-to-ROSC time, admission arterial pH, and total pre-ROSC epinephrine dose.

  • Low risk: score <150
  • Intermediate risk: score 150–200
  • High risk: score >200
