Predictive Utility of Changes in Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter after Cardiac Arrest for Neurologic Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: The optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) can help predict the neurologic outcomes of patients with post-cardiac arrest (CA) return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). We aimed to investigate the effect of ONSD changes before and after CA on neurologic outcomes in patients with ROSC after CA using brain computed tomography (CT). The study included patients hospitalized after CA, who had undergone pre- and post-CA brain CT between January 2001 and September 2020. The patients were divided into good and poor neurologic outcome (GNO and PNO, respectively) groups based on their neurologic outcome at hospital discharge. We performed between-group comparisons of the amount and rate of ONSD changes in brain CT and calculated the area under the curve (AUC) to determine their predictive value for neuro
