Background: Targeted temperature management (TTM) has been reported to improve outcomes in in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients but little has been investigated into the relationship between prognoses and the blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio (BCR).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of data from IHCA survivors treated with TTM between 2011 and 2018 was conducted based on the Research Patient Database Registry of the Partners HealthCare system in Boston. Serum laboratory data were measured during IHCA and within 24 hours after TTM completion.
Objectives: Although several risk factors for outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients have been identified, the cumulative risk of their combinations is not thoroughly clear, especially after targeted temperature management. Therefore, we aimed to develop a risk score to evaluate individual out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patient risk at early admission after targeted temperature management regarding poor neurologic status at discharge.
Design: Retrospective observational cohort study.
Background: To determine the impact of body mass index (BMI) on clinical outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors treated with targeted temperature management (TTM).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 261 adult OHCA survivors who received complete TTM between January 2011 and December 2018 using data from the Research Patient Database Registry of Partners HealthCare system in Boston. Patients were categorized as underweight (BMI < 18.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effectiveness of targeted temperature management (TTM) in patients who experience in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) compared to those with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), indicating that the benefits are similar for both groups.
- A retrospective analysis of 93 IHCA patients treated with TTM found that factors like initial shockable rhythm and time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) are key predictors of survival outcomes and neurological recovery.
- The findings suggest that while IHCA patients may have different treatment dynamics than OHCA patients, TTM shows comparable benefits, emphasizing the importance of the initial cardiac rhythm in predicting treatment success.
