CARDIAC arrest , *LOGISTIC regression analysis , *HOSPITAL admission & discharge - Abstract
Background: Multiple studies have investigated the association between hyperoxaemia following cardiac arrest (CA) and unfavourable outcomes; however, they have yielded inconsistent results. Most previous studies quantified oxygen exposure without considering its timing or duration. We investigated the relationship between unfavourable outcomes and supranormal arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), commonly defined as PaO2 > 100 mmHg, at specific time intervals within 24 h following CA. Methods: This retrospective observational study included 838 adult non‐traumatic patients with CA. The first 24 h following CA were divided into four 6‐h time intervals, and the first 6‐h period was further divided into three 2‐h segments. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess associations of the highest PaO2 and time‐weighted average PaO2 (TWA‐PaO2) values at each time interval with unfavourable outcomes at hospital discharge (cerebral performance categories 3–5). Results: The highest PaO2 (p =.028) and TWA‐PaO2 (p =.022) values during the 0–6‐h time interval were significantly associated with unfavourable outcomes, whereas those at time intervals beyond 6 h were not. The association was the strongest at supranormal PaO2 values within the 0–2‐h time interval, becoming significant at PaO2 values ≥ 150 mmHg. During the first 6 h, longer time spent at ≥150 mmHg of PaO2 was associated with an increased risk of unfavourable outcomes (p =.038). The results were consistent across several sensitivity analyses. Conclusion: Supranormal PaO2 during but not after the first 6 h following cardiac arrest was independently associated with unfavourable outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Rearrest occurs commonly after initial resuscitation following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We determined (1) the predictors of rearrest during hospitalisation that can be identified in the hours immediately after OHCA, (2) the association between rearrest and favourable long-term outcomes, and (3) the predictors of favourable long-term outcomes in rearrest patients.Methods: Conditional multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed using the Korean Hypothermia Network prospective registry data, which included details of adult OHCA patients treated with targeted temperature management at 22 teaching hospitals in South Korea.Results: Among the 1,233 patients, 260 (21.1%) experienced rearrest. Of the 192 patients resuscitated from first rearrest, 33 (17.2%) achieved 6-month favourable outcomes. Arrhythmia, heart failure, ST-segment elevation, lower initial Glasgow coma scale (GCS) motor score, higher initial lactate level, and antiarrhythmic drug use within 1 h were independently associated with rearrest. Higher lactate level and antiarrhythmic drug use were associated with shockable first rearrest, while arrhythmia, heart failure, ST-segment elevation, and lower GCS motor score were associated with non-shockable first rearrest. Rearrest was independently associated with a lower likelihood of 6-month favourable outcomes (P = 0.003). Initial shockable rhythm after OHCA, absence of diabetes, shorter cumulative time to restoration of spontaneous circulation, coronary angiography, and hypophosphataemia within 7 d were independently associated with 6-month favourable outcomes in the patients resuscitated from first rearrest.Conclusions: Rearrest during hospitalisation after OHCA was inversely associated with 6-month favourable outcomes. We identified several risk factors for rearrest and prognostic factors for patients resuscitated from first rearrest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

ION mobility , *CARDIAC arrest , *RECEIVER operating characteristic curves , *EXTRACELLULAR fluid - Abstract
Background: Several studies reported that disturbances in cellular ion homeostasis occur following ischaemia, the magnitude of which was proportional to illness severity. The changes in serum electrolyte levels following ischaemia were minor compared with the changes in ion concentrations in the extracellular fluid. To amplify the serum electrolyte changes, we devised a new index (ion shift index), which could be calculated using commonly measured serum electrolyte levels, and explored its prognostic value in adult cardiac arrest patients.Methods: This retrospective observational study included adult cardiac arrest survivors treated at a tertiary university hospital between January 2014 and December 2017. Using the first available serum electrolyte levels, the ion shift index was calculated as follows: ion shift index = (potassium + phosphate + magnesium) / calcium. The primary outcome was poor outcome at hospital discharge (cerebral performance categories 3-5).Results: The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of ion shift index for predicting poor outcome was 0.878 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.849-0.907). The AUC of ion shift index was greater than those of individual electrolytes (all p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, higher ion shift index levels were independently associated with poor outcome (odds ratio, 2.916; 95% CI, 1.798-4.730; p < 0.001). The AUC of multivariate model including ion shift index was greater than that of multivariate model after excluding ion shift index (p = 0.007).Conclusions: Our results suggest that the ion shift index can be helpful in the early prognostication of adult cardiac arrest patients.

Background: Several studies have reported increased levels of phosphate after cardiac arrest. Given the relationship between phosphate level and the severity of ischaemic injury reported in previous studies, higher phosphate levels may be associated with worse outcomes. We investigated the prognostic value of phosphate level after the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in adult cardiac arrest patients.Methods: This study was a retrospective observational study including adult cardiac arrest survivors treated at the Chonnam National University Hospital between January 2014 and June 2017. From medical records, data regarding clinical characteristics, outcome at hospital discharge, and laboratory parameters including phosphate levels after ROSC were collected. The primary outcome was poor outcome at hospital discharge, defined as Cerebral Performance Categories 3-5.Results: Of the 674 included patients, 465 had poor outcome at hospital discharge. Serum phosphate level was significantly higher in patients with poor outcome than in those with good outcome (p < 0.001). Phosphate level was correlated with time to ROSC (r = 0.350, p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed an area under the curve of 0.805 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.777-0.838) for phosphate level. In multivariate analysis, a higher phosphate level was independently associated with poor outcome at hospital discharge (odds ratio, 1.432; 95% CI, 1.245-1.626; p < 0.001).Conclusions: A higher phosphate level after ROSC was independently associated with poor outcome at hospital discharge in adult cardiac arrest patients. However, given its modest prognostic performance, phosphate level should be used in combination with other prognostic indicators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Purpose: The optimal timing for measurement of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) level to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) and prognosis in cardiac arrest (CA) survivors has not been elucidated. We aimed to compare the diagnostic and prognostic performance of NGAL levels after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and at 48 h after CA. Methods: We included 231 adult cardiac arrest survivors who underwent targeted temperature management between May 2013 and December 2016. The primary outcome was stage 2 and 3 AKI (high stage AKI), and the secondary outcomes were in-hospital mortality and neurologic outcome. Sixty-one (26.4%) developed high stage AKI, 50 (21.6%) died, and 152 (65.8%) had a poor neurologic outcome. Results: NGAL level at 48 h (0.876; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.826-0.916) had a higher area under receiver operating characteristic curve than NGAL level after ROSC (0.694; 95% CI, 0.631-0.753). Both NGAL levels were independently associated with high stage AKI. NGAL level at 48 h (1.001; 95% CI, 1.000-1.002) remained a significant predictor for in-hospital mortality, while neither of the NGAL levels were independently associated with neurologic outcome. Conclusions: NGAL at 48 h after CA seems to be a robust predictor for high stage AKI and in-hospital mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Purpose: Obesity is a well-known risk factor in various health conditions. We analyzed the association between obesity and clinical outcomes, and its effect on targeted temperature management (TTM) practice for cardiac arrest survivors by calculating and classifying their body mass indexes (BMIs).Methods: We conducted a retrospective data analysis of adult comatose cardiac arrest survivors treated with TTM from 2008 to 2015. BMI was calculated and the cohort was divided into four categories based on the cut-off values of 18.5, 23.0, and 27.5kgm-2. The primary outcome was six-month mortality and the secondary outcomes were neurologic outcome at hospital discharge, cooling rate, and rewarming rate.Results: The study included 468 patients. Poor neurologic outcome at discharge and six-month mortality were reported in 311 (66.5%) and 271 (57.9%) patients, respectively. A multivariate logistic analysis showed that an overweight compared to normal BMI was associated with lower probability of six-month mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.481; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.274-0.846; p=0.011) and poor neurologic outcome at discharge (OR, 0.482; 95% CI, 0.258-0.903; p=0.023). BMI correlated with cooling rate (B, -0.073; 95% CI, -0.108 to -0.039; p<0.001), but had no association with rewarming rate (B, 0.003; 95% CI, -0.001-0.008; p=0.058).Conclusion: Overweight BMI compared to normal BMI classification was found to be associated with lower six-month mortality and poor neurologic outcome at discharge in cardiac arrest survivors treated with TTM. Higher BMI correlated with a slower induction rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

We investigated the association between post-rewarming fever (PRF) and 6-month neurologic outcomes in cardiac arrest survivors. This was a multicenter study based on a registry of comatose adult (≥18 years) out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors who underwent targeted temperature management between October 2015 to December 2018. PRF was defined as peak temperature ≥ 38.0 °C within 72 h after completion of rewarming, and PRF timing was categorized as within 24, 24–48, and 48–72 h epochs. The primary outcome was neurologic outcomes at six months after cardiac arrest. Unfavorable neurologic outcome was defined as cerebral performance categories three to five. A total of 1031 patients were included, and 642 (62.3%) had unfavorable neurologic outcomes. PRF developed in 389 (37.7%) patients in 72 h after rewarming: within 24 h in 150 (38.6%), in 24–48 h in 155 (39.8%), and in 48–72 h in 84 (21.6%). PRF was associated with improved neurologic outcomes (odds ratio (OR), 0.633; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.416–0.963). PRF within 24 h (OR, 0.355; 95% CI, 0.191–0.659), but not in 24–48 h or 48–72 h, was associated with unfavorable neurologic outcomes. Early PRF within 24 h after rewarming was associated with favorable neurologic outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigated whether achieving estimated average glucose (EAG) levels versus achieving standard glucose levels (180 mg/dL) was associated with neurologic outcome in cardiac arrest survivors. This single-center retrospective observational study included adult comatose cardiac arrest survivors undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH) from September 2011 to December 2017. EAG level was calculated using HbA1c obtained after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and the mean glucose level during TH was calculated. We designated patients to the EAG or standard glucose group according to whether the mean blood glucose level was closer to the EAG level or 180 mg/dL. Patients in the EAG and standard groups were propensity score- matched. The primary outcome was the 6-month neurologic outcome. The secondary outcomes were hypoglycemia (≤70 mg/dL) and serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) at 48 h after ROSC. Of 384 included patients, 137 (35.7%) had a favorable neurologic outcome. The EAG group had a higher favorable neurologic outcome (104/248 versus 33/136), higher incidence of hypoglycemia (46/248 versus 11/136), and lower NSE level. After propensity score matching, both groups had similar favorable neurologic outcomes (24/93 versus 27/93) and NSE levels; the EAG group had a higher incidence of hypoglycemia (21/93 versus 6/93). Achieving EAG levels was associated with hypoglycemia but not neurologic outcome or serum NSE level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Early prognostication after cardiac arrest would be useful. We aimed to develop a scoring model for early prognostication in unselected adult cardiac arrest patients.Methods: We retrospectively analysed data of adult non-traumatic cardiac arrest patients treated at a tertiary hospital between 2014 and 2018. The primary outcome was poor outcome at hospital discharge (cerebral performance category, 3-5). Using multivariable logistic regression analysis, independent predictors were identified among known outcome predictors, that were available at intensive care unit admission, in patients admitted in the first 3 years (derivation set, N = 671), and a scoring system was developed with the variables that were retained in the final model. The scoring model was validated in patients admitted in the last 2 years (validation set, N = 311).Results: The poor outcome rates at hospital discharge were similar between the derivation (66.0%) and validation sets (64.3%). Age <59 years, witnessed collapse, shockable rhythm, adrenaline dose <2 mg, low-flow duration <18 min, reactive pupillary light reflex, Glasgow Coma Scale motor score ≥2, and levels of creatinine <1.21 mg dl-1, potassium <4.4 mEq l-1, phosphate <5.8 mg dl-1, haemoglobin ≥13.2 g dl-1, and lactate <8 mmol l-1 were retained in the final multivariable model and used to develop the scoring system. Our model demonstrated excellent discrimination in the validation set (area under the curve of 0.942, 95% confidence interval 0.917-0.968).Conclusions: We developed a scoring model for early prognostication in unselected adult cardiac arrest patients. Further validations in various cohorts are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Aim Of the Study: Studies examining associations between time to target temperature and outcomes in cardiac arrest patients who underwent targeted temperature management (TTM) have shown inconsistent results. We examined these associations separately for time from restoration of spontaneous circulation to TTM initiation (pre-induction time) and time from TTM initiation to target temperature (induction time). Furthermore, we examined whether critical time thresholds exist if there is an association.Methods: This was a single-centre retrospective observational study including adult cardiac arrest patients treated with TTM from 2008 to 2015. We tested the associations of pre-induction time and induction time with outcomes at hospital discharge using multivariate logistic regression analysis. We then performed additional multivariate analyses, each with the significant timing variable at different binary cutoffs.Results: A total of 515 patients were analysed. At hospital discharge, 357 patients (69.3%) were alive, of whom 161 (31.3%) had a favourable neurologic outcome. In multivariate analysis, a shorter pre-induction time was independently associated with a favourable neurologic outcome (odds ratio [OR], 1.110; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.025-1.202), whereas the induction time was not (OR, 0.954; 95% CI, 0.852-1.067). We found two pre-induction time thresholds (120 and 360min) that were associated with neurologic outcome.Conclusion: We found that a shorter pre-induction time was independently associated with a favorable neurologic outcome at hospital discharge, whereas induction time was not. We also found two time thresholds at 120 and 360min, after which initiation of cooling was associated with a worse neurologic outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Aim Of the Study: We evaluated the influence of post-rewarming temperature management (PRTM) on post-rewarming fever development and determined the association between the temperature in the immediate post-targeted temperature management (TTM) period and outcomes.Methods: This retrospective observational study included consecutive adult cardiac arrest survivors treated with TTM from January 2008 to December 2013. Beginning in August 2010, our institution implemented a PRTM protocol involving continued use of temperature management device to maintain normothermia during the first 24h after rewarming. The outcomes were in-hospital mortality and neurologic outcome at discharge. We evaluated the effect on clinical outcomes of post-rewarming fever defined at a temperature over 38 °C within 48 h after rewarming.Results: Of 277 included patients, 55.2% underwent PRTM. The incidence of post-rewarming fever did not differ between the PRTM and no-PRTM groups (odds ratio [OR] 0.963, confidence interval [CI] 0.519, 1.787). Post-rewarming fever was associated with decreased in-hospital mortality (OR 0.243, CI 0.110, 0.534) and decreased rate of unfavorable neurologic outcome (OR 0.312, CI 0.182, 0.534). During 48 h following rewarming, mean temperature was 36.5 °C (36.2-36.8 °C), and peak temperature was 37.5 °C (36.8-38.1 °C). On multivariate analyses, lower mean temperature was associated with increased in-hospital mortality (OR 0.099, CI 0.037, 0.262) and unfavorable neurologic outcome (OR 0.071, CI 0.026, 0.193).Conclusion: It appeared that PRTM did not prevent post-rewarming fever development. Post-rewarming fever was associated with favorable outcomes while lower body temperature after rewarming was associated with unfavorable outcomes. Our results require further confirmation by larger prospective studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Aim: To examine the association between heat index (HI) during the induction, maintenance, and rewarming periods of targeted temperature management (TTM) and neurologic outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors.Methods: Adult (≥18 years) comatose OHCA survivors who underwent TTM at 33 °C between 2016 and 2018 were included. We collected data on water temperature (WT) recorded every minute during TTM. We calculated HI during induction as the inverse of the average WT × induction time (h) × 100 and HI of maintenance and rewarming as the inverse of the average WT × 100. The primary outcome was a poor neurologic outcome, based on Cerebral Performance Category 3-5 after 6 months.Results: Of the 118 included patients, 78 (66.1%) had poor outcome. Poor outcome group had lower HI during each of three periods than good outcome group. The areas under the curves for poor outcome of HI during the induction, maintenance, and rewarming periods were 0.819 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.737-0.883), 0.781 (95% CI, 0.696-0.852), and 0.844 (95% CI, 0.765-0.904), respectively. Induction time (odds ratio [OR], 0.991; 95% CI, 0.983-0.999) and HI during induction (OR, 0.916; 95% CI, 0.854-0.983), maintenance (OR, 0.082; 95% CI, 0.011-0.589), and rewarming (OR, 0.009; 95% CI, 0.000-0.285) were associated with poor outcome.Conclusions: Heat generation was independently associated with neurologic outcome in OHCA survivors who underwent TTM at 33 °C. The performance of HI was higher in the rewarming period than in the induction or maintenance period in association with poor neurologic outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background: Lipid profiles are known to be a risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between lipid profiles and outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors remains unclear. We aimed to examine the association between lipid profiles and neurologic outcome in OHCA survivors.Methods: This retrospective observational study included adult (≥18 years) OHCA survivors between January 2016 and December 2018. We measured patients' lipid profiles after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) including total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride. The primary outcome was neurologic outcome at hospital discharge. Good neurologic outcome was defined cerebral performance categories 1 and 2.Results: A total of 182 patients were included. Of them, 57 (31.3%) were discharged with good neurologic outcomes. Median serum levels of total cholesterol (178.0 vs. 123.0 mg/dL), HDL (44.0 vs. 31.0 mg/dL), and LDL (104.0 vs. 75.0 mg/dL) were significantly higher in patients with good neurologic outcome. The area under the curves of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride were 0.742 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.672-0.803), 0.729 (95% CI, 0.658-0.792), 0.683 (95% CI, 0.610-0.750), and 0.572 (95% CI, 0.497-0.645), respectively. Total cholesterol (odds ratio [OR], 1.013; 95% CI, 1.000-1.025; p = 0.043) and HDL (OR, 1.071; 95% CI, 1.021-1.123; p = 0.005) levels were associated with good neurologic outcomes.Conclusions: The levels of total cholesterol and HDL after ROSC were associated with good neurologic outcomes in patients with OHCA, without considering the effect of other lipid profiles simultaneously.

Aim Of the Study: Brain swelling after cardiac arrest may affect the ventricles. We aimed to investigate the prognostic performance of ventricular characteristics on brain computed tomography (CT) in cardiac arrest survivors who underwent targeted temperature management (TTM).Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adult comatose cardiac arrest survivors who underwent brain CT scan within 24 h after resuscitation and underwent TTM from 2014 to 2016. The ventricular areas (lateral, third, and fourth ventricle), distances between the anterior horns of the lateral ventricle (LV) and the posterior horns of the LV, and maximal internal diameter of the skull were measured. Grey-to-white matter ratio (GWR), Evans' index, and relative LV area were calculated. The primary outcome was a 6-month neurologic outcome.Results: Of 258 patients, 176 (68.2%) had an unfavourable neurologic outcome. GWR, LV area, third ventricle area, distance between the anterior horns of the LV, distance between the posterior horns of the LV, Evans' index, and relative LV area were different between neurologic outcome groups. Evans' index (0.683; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.623-0.739) and relative LV area (0.670; 95% CI, 0.609-0.727) had higher value of area under the curve than the other ventricular characteristics and showed prognostic performance comparable with GWR (0.600; 95% CI, 0.538-0.661). All ventricular characteristics and GWR were not independently associated with neurologic outcome after adjusting for covariates.Conclusion: Ventricular characteristics on brain CT were associated with 6 months neurologic outcome in cardiac arrest survivors. Ventricular characteristics were objective measures that had comparable prognostic performance with GWR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Aim Of the Study: Previous studies on the relationship between age and outcomes after cardiac arrest were performed in settings where the majority of patients died after the withdrawal of life support (WLS). We examined the association between age and outcomes of comatose cardiac arrest survivors in a setting where WLS was not performed.Methods: This single-centre retrospective observational study included adult comatose cardiac arrest survivors treated with targeted temperature management. In Korea, WLS is not permitted unless the patient is pronounced brain-dead. The primary outcome was poor neurologic outcome at hospital discharge, defined as Cerebral Performance Categories scores of 3-5. The secondary outcomes were in-hospital and six-month mortalities.Results: A total of 534 patients were analysed. In multivariate analysis, age was not associated with in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR], 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99-1.02), but it was independently associated with neurologic outcome at hospital discharge (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.02-1.05) and six-month mortality (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.03-1.07). When age was categorised into 10-year intervals, age groups less than 61-70 years had significantly lower OR for poor neurologic outcome compared with the reference group (61-70 years), while the OR for poor neurologic outcome in age groups greater than 70 years did not differ from that in the reference group.Conclusion: In a setting where WLS is not performed, we found that age was not associated with in-hospital mortality but was independently associated with neurologic outcome at hospital discharge and six-month mortality.

Aim Of the Study: Previous studies found that the gray matter to white matter ratio (GWR) on brain computed tomography (CT) could be used to predict poor outcomes in cardiac arrest survivors. However, these studies have included cardiac arrests of both cardiac and non-cardiac etiologies. We sought to evaluate if the GWR on brain CT can help to predict poor outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) of cardiac etiology.Methods: Using a multicenter retrospective registry of adult cardiac arrest survivors treated with therapeutic hypothermia, we identified survivors of OHCA of cardiac etiology who underwent brain CT within 24h after successful resuscitation. Gray and white matter attenuations were measured, and the GWRs were calculated as in previous studies. The prognostic values of the GWRs were analyzed, and a logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the contribution of the GWR in predicting poor outcomes (Cerebral Performance Category 3-5).Results: of 283 included patients, 140 had good outcomes and 143 had poor outcomes. Although the GWRs could predict poor outcomes with statistical significance, the sensitivities were remarkably low (3.5% to 5.6%) at cutoff values with 100% specificity. No significant difference in predictive performance was found between the primary predictive model, containing independent poor outcome predictors, and the primary predictive model combined with the GWR.Conclusion: In a cohort of comatose adults after OHCA of cardiac etiology, the GWR demonstrated poor predictive performance and was not helpful in predicting poor outcomes.

Abstract: Aim of the study: We determined whether combining the grey-to-white matter ratio (GWR) on brain computed tomography (CT) and serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) improves the prognostic performance when compared to either alone in cardiac arrest patients treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH). Methods: We performed a retrospective study of a cohort of cardiac arrest patients treated with TH. The Hounsfield unit was measured in the caudate nucleus (CN), putamen (P), posterior limb of internal capsule (PIC) and corpus callosum (CC); GWR was calculated as CN/PIC and P/CC. The NSE value was obtained at 0, 24, and 48h after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). We analysed the prognostic performance of GWR and NSE, singly and in combination, in predicting poor neurologic outcome (cerebral performance category 3–5). Results: Of the 224 included patients, 82 showed good neurologic outcome at hospital discharge, while 142 showed poor neurologic outcome. The P/CC (area under receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) 0.864, sensitivity/specificity 52.9%/100%) showed better prognostic performance than did the CN/PIC (AUROC 0.721, sensitivity/specificity 19.8%/100%). The NSE value at 48h after ROSC (AUROC 0.895, sensitivity/specificity 60.2%/100%) showed the highest prognostic value among the three NSE time points. Analysis of 119 patients undergoing both brain CT and NSE at 48h indicated that combining P/CC and NSE improved the sensitivity (78.6%) compared to either alone (48.6%, 62.9%). Conclusion: Combining brain CT and serum NSE improves the prognostic performance when compared to either alone in predicting poor neurologic outcome in cardiac arrest patients treated with TH.
