[Quality of life after in-hospital cardiac arrest : An 11-year experience from an university center].

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening condition requiring urgent medical care and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Given that in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is still poorly investigated, data on health-associated quality of life thereafter remains scarce. The available evidence is mostly transferred from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest studies, but the epidemiology and determinants of success might be different. The aim of the study was to investigate the change in the quality of life after in-hospital cardiac arrest and to identify potential risk factors for a poor outcome.

Material and methods

This retrospective analysis of data and prospective evaluation of quality of life included all patients surviving an IHCA and being treated by the emergen
