Background: Resuscitation guidance has advanced; however, the predictive performance of the termination of resuscitation (TOR) rule has not been validated for different resuscitation protocols published by the American Heart Association (AHA).
Methods: A retrospective study validating the basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) TOR rules was conducted using an Utstein-style database in Tainan city, Taiwan. Adult patients with nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrests from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015, (using the AHA 2010 resuscitation protocol) and from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, (using the AHA 2015 resuscitation protocol) were included. The characteristics of rule performance were calculated, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value.
Results: Among 1260 eligible OHCA patients in 2015, 757 met the BLS TOR rule and 124 met the ALS TOR rule. The specificity and PPV for predicting unfavorable neurological outcomes were 61.1% and 99.0%, respectively, for the BLS TOR rule and 93.8% and 99.2%, respectively, for the ALS TOR rule. A total of 970 OHCA patients were enrolled in 2020, of whom 438 met the BLS TOR rule and 104 met the ALS TOR rule. The specificity and PPV for predicting unfavorable neurological outcomes were 85.7% and 100%, respectively, for the BLS TOR rule and 99.5% and 100%, respectively, for the ALS TOR rule.
Conclusions: Both the BLS and ALS TOR rules performed better when using the 2015 AHA resuscitation protocols compared to the 2010 protocols, with increased PPVs and decreased false-positive rates in predicting survival to discharge and good neurological outcomes at discharge. The BLS and ALS TOR rules can perform differently while the resuscitation protocols are updated. As the concepts and practices of resuscitation progress, the BLS and ALS TOR rules should be evaluated and validated accordingly.

Noninvasive Assessment of portal Hypertension in Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis is Affected by Severity of Cholestasis.

Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy. Electronic address:
Background & Aims: Noninvasive tests (NITs) for ruling-out clinical significant portal hypertension (CSPH) and high-risk varices (HRVs) in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) are lacking. We evaluated NITs in these patients and the influence of cholestasis on their performance.
Methods: Consecutive patients from the "Italian PBC registry" and 2 United Kingdom large-volume PBC referral centers with upper endoscopy within 6 months from biochemical evaluation and transient elastography were included.
Derivation of a clinical decision rule for termination of resuscitation in non-traumatic pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Aim: Prehospital termination of resuscitation (ToR) rules are used to predict medical futility in adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), however, the available evidence for pediatric patients is limited. The primary aim of this study is to derive a Pediatric Termination of Resuscitation (PToR) prediction rule for use in pediatric non-traumatic OHCA patients.
Methods: We analyzed a retrospective cohort of pediatric OHCA patients within the CARES database over a 10-year period (2013-2022).
Potential kidney donors among patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and a termination of resuscitation rule.

Importance: Uncontrolled donation after circulatory determination of death (uDCD) has been developed and can serve as a source of kidneys for transplantation, especially when considering patients that meet extended criteria donation (ECD).
Objective: This study assessed the theorical size and characteristics of the potential pool of kidney transplants from uDCD with standard criteria donation (SCD) and ECD among patients who meet Termination of Resuscitation (TOR) criteria following Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA).
Methods And Participants: This study focused on adult patients experiencing unexpected OHCA, who were prospectively enrolled in the Parisian registry from May 16th, 2011, to December 31st, 2020.
Termination of Resuscitation Rules and Survival Among Patients With Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
JAMA Netw Open

Medical School, University of Warwick, Coventry, England.
Importance: Termination of resuscitation (TOR) rules may help guide prehospital decisions to stop resuscitation, with potential effects on patient outcomes and health resource use. Rules with high sensitivity risk increasing inappropriate transport of nonsurvivors, while rules without excellent specificity risk missed survivors. Further examination of the performance of TOR rules in estimating survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is needed.

Aim: To compare the cost-effectiveness of termination-of-resuscitation (TOR) rules for patients transported in cardiac arrest.
Methods: The economic analyses evaluated cost-effectiveness of alternative TOR rules for OHCA from a National Health Service (NHS) and personal social services (PSS) perspective over a lifetime horizon. A systematic review was used to identify the different TOR rules included in the analyses.
