EPOS-OHCA: Early Predictors of Outcome and Survival after non-traumatic Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

ABSTRACT: Post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) poses significant challenges due to its complex pathomechanisms involving inflammation, ischemia, and reperfusion injury. The identification of early available prognostic indicators is essential for optimizing therapeutic decisions and improving patient outcomes. In this retrospective single-center study, we analyzed real-world data from 463 OHCA patients with either prehospital or in-hospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), treated at the Cardiac Arrest Center of the University Hospital of Marburg (MCAC) from January 2018 to December 2022. We evaluated demographic, prehospital, and clinical variables, including initial rhythms, resuscitation details, and early laboratory results. Statistical analyses
