Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between serum urea levels at hospital admission and during the stay, and their impact on achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and in-hospital mortality in patients who suffered in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).
- Conducted retrospectively from 2018 to 2022, 374 patients were analyzed, revealing a significant association between lower serum urea levels before IHCA and higher chances of ROSC, while elevated urea levels correlated with increased in-hospital mortality.
- The findings suggest that monitoring serum urea levels can be important for predicting outcomes in IHCA patients, with higher levels indicating a worse prognosis.
