Abstract
Abstract Background Assessing the neurologic outcomes of patients who experience out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is challenging. Neurologic outcomes were evaluated using initial nutrition related biochemical markers. Methods We used data from a multicentre retrospective observational study, the Korean Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation Consortium (KoCARC) registry. Among the 666 patients, 217 had good neurologic outcomes, while 449 had poor neurologic outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression and classification and regression tree (CART) analyses were employed. Result In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, total cholesterol ≥ 158.5 mg/dL, total bilirubin ≥ 0.265 mg/dL, Sodium < 142.1 mEq/L, AST < 200.5 U/L and were identified as significant biomarkers for good neurologic outcomes. In the CART analysis, total cholesterol ≥ 158.5 mg/dL and total bilirubin ≥ 0.365 mg/dL were found to be significant indicators. In additional analysis, when the total bilirubin level ranged from 0.6 to 0.7 mg/dL, the highest rate of a good neurologic outcome was observed at 44.6%, whereas levels below or above this range gradually indicated a lower rate of a good neurologic outcome. Conclusion We propose that total cholesterol and total bilirubin levels could serve as valuable indicators for predicting neurologic outcomes in patients with OHCA.
