Long-term survival after cardiac arrest in patients undergoing emergent coronary angiography

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Aim: To determine long-term survival of patients after cardiac arrest undergoing emergent coronary angiography and therapeutic hypothermia. Methods: We analysed data from patients treated within the regional STEMI Network from January 2015 to December 2020. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at median follow-up. Secondary endpoints were periprocedural complications (arrhythmias, pulmonary edema, cardiogenic shock, mechanical complication, stent thrombosis, reinfarction, bleeding) and 6-month all-cause death. A landmark analysis was performed, studying two time periods; 0-6 months and beyond 6 months. Results: From a total of 24,125 patients in the regional STEMI network, 494 patients who suffered from cardiac arrest were included and divided into two groups: treated with (n = 119) and without therapeutic hypothermia (n = 375). At median follow-up (16.0 [0.2-33.3] months), there was no difference in the adjusted mortality rate between groups (51.3 % with hypothermia vs 48.0 % without hypothermia; HRadj1.08 95%CI [0.77-1.53]; p = 0.659). There was a higher frequency of bleeding in the hypothermia group (6.7 % vs 1.1 %; ORadj 7.99 95%CI [2.05-31.2]; p = 0.002), without difference for the rest of periprocedural complications. At 6-month follow-up, adjusted all-cause mortality rate was similar between groups (46.2 % with hypothermia vs 44.5 % without hypothermia; HRadj1.02 95%CI [0.71-1.47]; p = 0.900). Also, no differences were observed in the adjusted mortality rate between 6 months and median follow-up (9.4 % with hypothermia vs 6.3 % without hypothermia; HRadj2.02 95%CI [0.69-5.92]; p = 0.200). Conclusions: In a large cohort of patients with cardiac arrest within a regional STEMI network, those treated with therapeutic hypothermia did not improve long-term survival compared to those without hypothermia.
