Background: Development of acute kidney injury (AKI) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with mortality and poor neurological outcome. However, the effect of recovery from AKI after OHCA is uncertain. This study investigates whether recovery from AKI was associated with the rate of survival and neurological outcome at 30 days after OHCA. Methods: This is a prospective multicentre observational cohort study of adult OHCA patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM) across five hospitals in South Korea between February 2019 and July 2020. AKI was diagnosed using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. The primary outcome was the rate of survival at 30 days, and the secondary outcome was the rate of survival with a favourable neurological outcome at 30 days, defined by a score of 3 or less on the modified Rankin scale. Results: Among the 2,018 patients with OHCA, 79 were treated with TTM. After excluding two patients with incomplete data on outcomes, 77 were analysed. AKI developed in 43 (56%) patients. Among them, 22 (51%) recovered from AKI. Although the rate of survival at 30 days for the recovery group was superior to the non-recovery group (82% vs. 24%, P < 0.001), the rate of survival with a favourable neurological outcome at 30 days for the recovery group was not different than that for the non-recovery group (32% vs. 10%, P = 0.132). Recovery from AKI was an independent predictor of survival at 30 days after OHCA in the multivariate analysis (adjusted odds ratio, 22.737; 95% confidence interval, 3.814-135.533; P = 0.001); however, it was not associated with a favourable neurological outcome at 30 days after OHCA in the multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Recovery from AKI was an independent predictor of survival at 30 days only after OHCA who were treated by TTM.

Abstract Background The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation guidelines recommend target temperature management (TTM) between 32 and 36 °C for patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, but did not indicate patient-specific temperatures. The association of serum lactate concentration and neurological outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patient has been reported. The study aim was to investigate the benefit of 32–34 °C in patients with various degrees of hyperlactatemia compared to 35–36 °C. Methods This study was a post hoc analysis of the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry between June 2014 and December 2015. Patients with complete targeted temperature management and lactate data were eligible. Patients were stratified to mild (< 7 mmol/l), moderate (< 12 mmol/l), or severe (≥ 12 mmol/l) hyperlactatemia group based on lactate concentration after return of spontaneous circulation. They were subdivided into 32–34 °C or 35–36 °C groups. The primary endpoint was an adjusted predicted probability of 30-day favorable neurological outcome, defined as a cerebral performance category score of 1 or 2. Result Of 435 patients, 139 had mild, 182 had moderate, and 114 had severe hyperlactatemia. One hundred and eight (78%) with mild, 128 with moderate (70%), and 83 with severe hyperlactatemia (73%) received TTM at 32–34 °C. The adjusted predicted probability of a 30-day favorable neurological outcome following severe hyperlactatemia was significantly greater with 32–34 °C (27.4%, 95% confidence interval: 22.0–32.8%) than 35–36 °C (12.4%, 95% CI 3.5–21.2%; p = 0.005). The differences in outcomes in those with mild and moderate hyperlactatemia were not significant. Conclusions In OHCA patients with severe hyperlactatemia, the adjusted predicted probability of 30-day favorable neurological outcome was greater with TTM at 32–34 °C than with TTM at 35–36 °C. Further evaluation is needed to determine whether TTM at 32–34 °C can improve neurological outcomes in patients with severe hyperlactatemia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Background: An increasing number of cardiac centres are using immediate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in patients with refractory out of hospital cardiac arrest (r-OHCA). Published evidence regarding PCI in OHCA has been mainly reporting to patients with early return of spontaneous circulation and the influence of PCI and ECPR on survival in the population of patients with r-OHCA and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear. Methods: In this post hoc analysis of the randomized r-OHCA trial, all patients with ACS as a cause of r-OHCA were included. The effect of successful PCI and ECPR on 180-days survival was examined using Kaplan-Meier estimates and multivariable Cox regression. Results: In total, 256 patients were evaluated in Prague OHCA study and 127 (49.6 %) had ACS as the cause of r-OHCA constituting current study population. The mean age was 58 years (46.3-64) and duration of resuscitation was 52.5 minutes (36.5-68). ECPR was used in 51 (40.2 %) of patients. Immediate PCI was performed in 86 (67.7%) patients and TIMI flow 2 or 3 was achieved in 75 (87.2%) patients. The overall 180-days survival of patients with successful PCI was 40 % compared to 7.7 % with no or failed immediate PCI (log-rank p < 0.001). After adjustment for confounders, successful PCI was associated with a lower risk of death (HR 0.47, CI 0.24-0.93, p = 0.031). Likewise, ECPR was associated with a lower risk of death (HR 0.11, CI 0.05-0.24, p< 0.001). Conclusion: In this post hoc analysis of the randomized r-OHCA trial, successful immediate PCI as well as ECPR were associated with improved 180-days survival in patients with r-OHCA due to ACS.
