Résumé : | We investigated independent factors predicting neurological outcome and death, comparing in-hospital (IHCA) and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. The study was conducted in the mixed 34-bed Intensive Care Department at the Hôpital Universitaire de Bruxelles (HUB), Belgium. All adult consecutive cardiac arrest (CA) survivors were included between 2004 and 2022. For all patients, demographic data, medical comorbidities, CA baseline characteristics, treatments received during Intensive Care Unit stay, in-hospital major complications, and neurological outcome at three months after CA, using the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale, were collected. In the multivariable analysis, in the IHCA group (n = 540), time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), older age, unwitnessed CA, higher lactate on admission, asystole as initial rhythm, a non-cardiac cause of CA, the occurrence of shock, the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI), and the presence of previous neurological disease and of liver cirrhosis were independent predictors of an unfavorable neurological outcome. Among patients with OHCA (n = 567), time to ROSC, older age, higher lactate level on admission, unwitnessed CA, asystole or pulseless electrical activity (PEA) as initial rhythm, the occurrence of shock, a non-cardiac cause of CA, and a previous neurological disease were independent predictors of an unfavorable neurological outcome. To conclude, in our large cohort of mixed IHCA and OHCA patients, we observed numerous factors independently associated with a poor neurological outcome, with minimal differences between the two groups, reflecting the greater vulnerability of hospitalized patients. |
