The short- and mid-term mortality trends in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors: insights from a 5-year multicenter retrospective study in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The survival trend and factors influencing short- and mid-term mortality in Asian out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors should be elucidated. We performed survival analyses on days 3 and 30, hypothesizing decreased survival rates within the initial 3 days post-resuscitation. Additionally, variables linked to mortality at these two timepoints were examined.

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis on adult nontraumatic OHCA survivors admitted to the National Taiwan University Hospital and its branches between 2017 and 2021. We collected the following variables from the NTUH-Integrative Medical Database: basic characteristics, cardiopulmonary resuscitation events, inotrope administration, and post-resuscitation management. The outcomes included 3- and
