Health-Related Quality of Life and Long-Term Survival After Cardiac Arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) follow-up can increase knowledge of cardiac arrest outcomes from the patient's perspective. Whether HRQOL affects long-term survival is unknown.

Objective

To investigate whether HRQOL 3 to 6 months after cardiac arrest is associated with long-term survival.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study linked 5 national registers with nationwide coverage in Sweden across a 7-year period and included survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2019, with follow-up through June 30, 2021. Participants were adults surviving at least 90 days after IHCA or OHCA who completed follow-up EuroQoL 5-dimension 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) tool questi
