Prognostic value of OHCA, C-GRApH and CAHP scores with initial neurologic examinations to predict neurologic outcomes in cardiac arrest patients treated with targeted temperature management.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM) was to evaluate the prognostic value of OHCA, C-GRApH, and CAHP scores with initial neurologic examinations for predicting neurologic outcomes.

Methods

This retrospective study included OHCA patients treated with TTM from 2009 to 2017. We calculated three cardiac arrest (CA)-specific risk scores (OHCA, C-GRApH, and CAHP) at the time of admission. The initial neurologic examination included an evaluation of the Full Outline of UnResponsiveness brainstem reflexes (FOUR_B) and Glasgow Coma Scale motor (GCS_M) scores. The primary outcome was the neurologic outcome at hospital discharge.

Results

Of 311 subjects, 99 (31.8%) had a good neurolog
