Well-being among survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A cross-sectional retrospective study in Sweden

BMJ Open Jun 11, 2018

Viktorisson A, et al. - Researchers examined post-out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) well-being in patients with a good neurological outcome 3 months after the cardiac event in this retrospective cross-sectional study. Between 2008 and 2012, data was collected and every OHCA survivor within a single region of Sweden who had a cerebral performance category (CPC) score of ≤2 at discharge was asked to take part. No significant difference between respondents and non-respondents in terms of sex, age, cardiac arrest circumstances or in-hospital interventions was found. Findings revealed that half of OHCA survivors with a CPC score ≤2 experience reduced well-being. Young age was negatively associated with this outcome. Data reported that the frequency of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder were significantly elevated among female survivors, who also report worse health.
