One thing I love about ET is that he identifies the best COVID studies. 
These studies are looking at in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in COVID.
If you want to understand unique aspects of IHCA in COVID, who should you compare COVID arresters to?

In the British study (bmj.com/content/371/bm…) who were COVID arresters compared to? (Poll in next tweet.)
Who were British COVID arresters compared to?
There was also an American study, thank goodness! (jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…).
This study was done at a single hospital. And these guys were smarter than those Brits, because they compared COVID arresters to non-COVID arresters, albeit historically.
In all fairness, it is hard to find too many contemporaneous non-COVID arresters during the pandemic.

So, what was the comparison group to the single-hospital COVID arrester cohort?
Wow, this is hard work!
How does @ProfDFrancis have time to cath?
It’s getting late early here, so I’ll add some concluding remarks after folks have had a chance to vote.

Yes—not only did I accidentally fork this thread, but I gave away the answer to the British paper.
For God’s sake, I’m not even asking math questions!
