Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Neurologic Recovery at Discharge and Long-Term Survival After Cardiac Arrest
Authors' conclusion
In this cohort study of patients with cardiac arrest who survived beyond 30 days, complete neurologic recovery, defined as CPC 1 at discharge, was associated with better long-term survival compared with neurologic disabilities at the same time point.
Study context
- Population
- Adults who survived in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) beyond 30 days with Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) assessment at hospital discharge, Sweden, 2010–2019

- 9,390 cardiac arrest survivors
- Exposure
- CPC 2 or CPC 3-4 vs CPC 1 at hospital discharge
- CPC 1n = 7,374reference
- CPC 2n = 1,358
- CPC 3-4n = 658
- Outcome
- Long-term survival
