Long-term major events after hospital discharge for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac arrest remains a global health issue with limited data on long-term outcomes, particularly regarding recurrent cardiovascular events in patients surviving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. (OHCA). We aimed to describe the long-term occurrence of major cardiac event defined by hospital admission for cardiovascular events or death in OHCA hospital survivors, whichever came first. Our secondary objective were to assess separately occurrence of hospital admission and death, and to identify the factors associated with major event occurrence. We hypothesized that patients surviving an OHCA has a protracted increased risk of cardiovascular events, due to both presence of the baseline conditions that lead to OHCA, and to the cardiovascular consequences of OHCA induced acut
