Association of white blood cell count with one-year mortality after cardiac arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Post-resuscitation care of cardiac arrest patients may be complicated by systemic inflammation elicited in response to whole-body ischaemia-reperfusion injury. We assessed the association between early WBC with one-year mortality in a large, unselected population of cardiac arrest patients.

Methods

We collected a retrospective multicentre cohort of ICU-treated CA patients from the Finnish national ICU registry. We used locally estimated scatterplot smoothing (LOESS) curve to assess the association between the most abnormal WBC of the first 24 h in the ICU with the likelihood of death within a year. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the independent association between WBC and one-year mortality. In nested cohort analysis, we test
