We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort of all adult patients admitted to a 15-bed medical ICU in a university-affiliated hospital after an out-of-hospital CA. In addition to demographic and clinical data, initial illness severity was measured using the SOFA score. Outcomes (mortality and neurological prognosis) were also collected at day 28 and one year.
A total of 304 patients (age: 66 ± 16 years, male: 55%) were admitted for post-CA management. An initial nonshockable cardiac rhythm was recorded in 274 (90%) cases. At admission, SOFA score averaged 9.8 ± 3.1 for the entire cohort (8.1 ± 3.3 for day 28 survivors versus 10.1 ± 3.1 for non-survivors, p < 0.001). At day 1, SOFA remained significantly (p < 0.001) higher in nonsurvivors (9.8 ± 3.8) when compared to survivors (6.5 ± 4.1). Death occurred in 269 (88%) and 275 (90%) patients within the 28-day and one-year period, respectively. Neurological outcome at one year was favorable (CPC score 1–2) in 23patients (8%). Multivariate analysis identified the SOFA score at admission as independently associated with mortality at day28 (OR per point of SOFA score 1.17; 95% CI 1.01–1.35; p = 0.03).
In the present study, early organ failures, as assessed by the SOFA score at ICU admission, were independently associated with day 28 mortality. SOFA score may help clinicians objectively evaluate the severity of the post-CA syndrome.
