      This is suggested by the relatively high rate (overall 4.5%; IQR 0.0-5.4%) of resuscitation attempts interrupted because of futility in our cohort (Fig. 1); If resuscitation attempts had not been started in these patients, the ROSC rate would have been 37.4%. Besides affecting the survival rate [31] the rate of DNAR orders could have affected the incidence of cardiac arrest in our population as well [32]. Another possible reason could be a reporting bias.
