The objective of this study was to identify clinical predictors of early neurological outcome in survivors of OHCA managed according to recent recommendations for OHCA care. Methods: Data from survivors of OHCA, admitted to a tertiary cardiac intensive care unit and treated with hypothermia in a 22 months period (n=46, age 60+-13 years, 74% males) were retrospectively evaluated. At 1-month follow-up, patients were classified according to the best achieved Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance categories (CPC 1-5) and factors affecting the outcome were analysed. Results: At 1-month follow-up, 23 patients (50%) had favourable outcome (CPC 1-2), while 23 patients (50%) had poor outcome (CPC 3-5), including 19 with in-hospital death (41% of total). Patients with good outcome were younger (55+-13 years vs. 66+-10 years; P=0.003), had more often myocardial infarction as the cause of arrest (63% vs. 30%; P=0.018) and ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia as an initial rhythm (78% vs. 39%; P=0.007). Both groups differed by lactate level on admission (4.0+-4.6 vs. 7.3+-4.1 mmol/l, P=0.02), after 12 h (2.5+-1.1 vs. 4.3+-3.2 mmol/l, P=0.04) and after 24 h (1.9+-1.2 vs. 3.2+-1.9 mmol/l, P=0.04). Logistic regression revealed the following independent outcome predictors: age, acute myocardial infarction and admission lactate level. Conclusion: Favourable outcome was observed in a half of OHCA survivors. Young age, acute myocardial infarction as underlying aetiology of cardiac arrest, and low lactate level on admission were the best predictors of favourable outcome." . . "54" .
