Health-related quality of life in critically ill survivors: specific impact of cardiac arrest in non-shockable rhythm.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intensive care has a strong impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The specific impact of cardiac arrest in non-shockable rhythm is poorly known.

Patients and methods

We gathered patients included in two randomized controlled trials (AWARE and HYPERION). The HYPERION trial included ICU-treated non-shockable cardiac arrest patients. The AWARE study included ICU patients requiring mechanical ventilation. We compared the 3-months HRQOL of these patients to those of a large sample of the French general population. Physical and mental dimension were compared. Multivariable linear regression was used to pick up factors associated with HRQOL.

Results

72 and 307 patients of the HYPERION and the AWARE studies were compared to 20,574 French controls. ICU p
