Prognostic value of targeted temperature management on outcomes of hanging-induced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A nationwide observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of targeted temperature management (TTM) on hanging-induced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients using nationwide data of South Korea.Adult hanging-induced OHCA patients from 2008 to 2018 were included in this nationwide observational study. Patients who assigned into 2 groups based on whether they did (TTM group) or did not (non-TTM group) receive TTM. Outcome measures included survival to hospital discharge and a good neurological outcome at hospital discharge.Among the 293,852 OHCA patients, 3545 patients (non-TTM, n = 2762; TTM, n = 783) were investigated. After propensity score matching for all patients, 783 matched pairs were available for analysis. We observed no significant inter-group differences i
