Early coronary angioplasty fails to lower all-cause mortality in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest without ST-segment elevation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is defined as the loss of functional mechanical activity of the heart in association with an absence of systemic circulation, occurring outside of a hospital. Immediate coronary angiography (CAG) with percutaneous coronary intervention is recommended for OHCA with ST-elevation. We aimed to evaluate the effect of early CAG on mortality and neurological outcomes in OHCA patients without ST-elevation.

Methods

This meta-analysis and systemic review was conducted as per principles of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) group. A protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO, Ref No. = CRD42022327833). A total of 674 studies were retrieved
