NSE and S100β as serum alarmins in predicting neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest.

ABSTRACT: Cardiac arrest (CA) is a serious health concern that often results in mortality or severe neurological dysfunction in the case of survival. Our aim was to explore the neurological prognostic factors in patients with CA. This retrospective observational study included adult patients with CA. We investigated serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S100 calcium-binding protein β (S100β), and indices and parameters at 1, 3, 5, 7 and intensive care unit (ICU) discharge days after CA. The primary study endpoint was the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale score at ICU discharge, which was dichotomized as good neurological outcome (CPC 1-2: full recovery or moderate disability) and poor neurological outcome (CPC 3-5: severe disability, vegetative state, or death). Of the 191 adult patients with
