This study provides the first evidence that m1A RNA methylation, reflected by the m1A/A ratio, is associated with neurological outcome and death at 6 months after CA.
Study context
- Population
- Patients after cardiac arrest, whole blood sampled 48 h after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)
- Participants
- 211 patients
- Comparison
- Higher vs lower blood m¹A/A ratio 48 h after ROSC
- Outcome
- Neurological outcome (CPC score) and survival
- Follow-up
- 6 months
