Figure 21. 2025 CARES Non-Traumatic Etiology Hospital Survival Report.
The CARES Hospital Survival Report provides receiving centers with summary metrics for their patient 
population. The report follows a flow diagram format, categorizing arrests by sustained ROSC in the 
field, initial rhythm, and patient outcome. It also allows for filtering of patients on whether they were 
transported by EMS or transferred from another acute care facility. Figure 21 presents the National 
CARES Hospital Survival Report for 2025.
Among all patients transported to a hospital, the survival to admission rate was 44.8% and the survival 
to discharge rate was 18.6%. Survival to hospital discharge was substantially higher among those who 
achieved sustained ROSC in the field (36.9%) compared to those who did not (6.3%). Furthermore, 
patients transferred from another facility exhibited a higher survival rate (49.6%) compared to those 
transported directly by EMS (16.8%).
