Effect of end-stage kidney disease on the return of spontaneous circulation in Taiwanese adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

ABSTRACT: Rescuing patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), especially those with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), is challenging. This study hypothesizes that OHCA patients with ESKD undergoing maintenance hemodialysis have (1) higher rates of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and (2) lower rates of hyperkalemia and less severe acidosis than those without ESKD. OHCA patients who received CPR between 2011 and 2020 were dichotomized into ESKD and non-ESKD groups. The association of ESKD with "any" and "sustained" ROSC were examined using logistic regression analysis. Furthermore, the effect of ESKD on hospital outcomes for OHCA patients who survived to admission was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. ESKD patients without "any" ROSC d
