Desai R, et al. - Researchers determined the prevalence of various psychiatric comorbidities in survivors of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) via analyzing data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) dataset. Findings suggest a common occurrence of comorbid psychiatric disorders among SCA survivors, especially younger, white, female patients. Mood disorder (16.4%) was noted to be the most prevalent psychiatric comorbidity (including depression; 12.6%) followed by anxiety (10%). However, no higher all-cause mortality was noted among cardiac arrest survivors with psychiatric disorder when compared to cardiac arrest survivors without psychiatric disorder. Findings emphasize identifying, assessing, treating, and monitoring high-risk SCA patients for associated psychiatric comorbidities.
