Functional Outcome Trajectories After Out-of-Hospital Pediatric Cardiac Arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To analyze functional performance measures collected prospectively during the conduct of a clinical trial that enrolled children (up to age 18 yr old), resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, who were at high risk of poor outcomes.

Design

Children with Glasgow Motor Scale score less than 5, within 6 hours of resuscitation, were enrolled in a clinical trial that compared two targeted temperature management interventions (THAPCA-OH, NCT00878644). The primary outcome, 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, second edition, score greater or equal to 70, did not differ between groups.

Setting

Thirty-eight North American PICUs.

Participants

Two hundred ninety-five children were enrolled; 270 of 295 had baseline Vineland Adaptive
