Obese Children Are Less Likely to Survive In-Hospital CPR

More nutritional child abuse.

Obese children are less likely to survive CPR in the hospital, according to research published online February 22nd in Pediatrics.

Compared to normal-weight children, obese children were less likely to survive a first resuscitation attempt (adjusted odds ratio, 0.58) or to survive until discharge (adjusted OR, 0.62), the study showed.

The overweight children also had a lower rate of survival with favorable neurologic outcomes - 15%, compared to 20% in normal-weight children and 27% in underweight children.

Fat parents have fat kids.

Which they sicken and kill.

Stop nutritional child abuse.
