Factors predicting mortality in the cardiac ICU during the early phase of targeted temperature management in the treatment of post-cardiac arrest syndrome - The RAPID score.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Survival rates after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remain low, and early prognostication is challenging. While numerous intensive care unit scoring systems exist, their utility in the early hours following hospital admission, specifically in the targeted temperature management (TTM) population, is questionable. Our aim was to create a score system that may accurately estimate outcome within the first 12 h after admission in patients receiving TTM.

Methods

We analyzed data from 103 OHCA patients who subsequently underwent TTM between 2016 and 2022. Patient demographic data, prehospital characteristics, clinical and laboratory parameters were already available in the first 12 h after admission were collected. Following a bootstrap-based predictor selection
