AI Article Synopsis
- It found that after accounting for various cardiac arrest factors, there was no significant difference in 90-day mortality rates or rehabilitation outcomes between women and men.
- The results suggest that the previously observed higher mortality risk for women may be related to other cardiac arrest characteristics rather than inherent sex differences.
Article Abstract
Purpose: previous studies showed that women have a higher mortality risk than men after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This sex difference may disappear after adjustment for cardiac arrest characteristics. Most studies also included patients who were not admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). We analyzed whether sex impacts the mortality of ICU-admitted OHCA patients.
Methods: a retrospective cohort analysis of 1240 OHCA patients admitted to the ICU (310 women, 25%, Age 64.0 (IQR 53.8-73.0)) at an academic hospital in the Netherlands between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2018. The primary outcome was 90-day mortality; the secondary outcome was a favorable cerebral performance category (CPC) score at ICU discharge and ICU length of stay (ICU LOS).
Results: we found no association between sex and 90-day mortality (hazard ratio (HR) 0.867; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.678-1.108) after adjusting for relevant cardiac arrest characteristics. Similarly, we found no difference for favorable CPC score (OR 1.117; 95% CI 0.777-1.608) or ICU LOS between sexes (Beta 0.428; 95% CI -0.442 to 1.298).
Conclusions: after adjusting for cardiac arrest characteristics, we found no difference between women and men with respect to 90-day mortality, ICU LOS, and CPC score.

Objectives: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) victims receiving defibrillation from an automated external defibrillator (AED) placed early in the chain of survival are more likely to survive. We sought to explore the accuracy of AED pad placement for lay rescuers (LR) and first responders (FR).
Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data collected during randomized OHCA simulation trials involving LRs and FRs.

Objective: Hypercalcemia is often considered as an emergency because of a potential risk life-threatening arrhythmias or coma. However, there is little evidence, apart from case studies, that hypercalcemia can be immediately life-threatening. The aim of our study was to assess prospectively, if hypercalcemia (Ca ≥ 3 mmol/L) was associated with immediately life-threatening complications.

The adult mammalian heart is unable to undergo cardiac repair, limiting potential treatment options after cardiac damage. However, the fetal heart is capable of cardiac repair. In preparation for birth, cardiomyocytes (CMs) undergo major maturational changes that include exit from the cell cycle, hypertrophic growth, and mitochondrial maturation.
