Resuscitation 2000: the need for improved databases in regard to neurological outcomes.
The Utstein protocol was developed to facilitate the collection of a consistent data base with which to evaluate the success or failure of resuscitative efforts. We urge redrafting of the section on neurological outcomes which should be an essential component of all outcome studies. Once this is accomplished, we believe that the use of this format should be demanded by every editor to whom an article on resuscitation is submitted.
