Abstract

Background

Little is known about sex differences in elderly patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and subsequent target temperature management (TTM). Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate sex-specific differences in survival and neurological outcome in elderly patients at 28-day and 180-day follow-up.

Methods

A total of 468 nontraumatic OHCA survivors with preclinical ROSC and an age of ≥ 65 years were included in this study. Sex-specific differences in survival and a favorable neurological outcome according to the cerebral performance category (CPC) score were evaluated as clinical endpoints.

Results

Of all participants included, 70.7% were men and 29.3% women. Women were significantly older (p = 0.011) and were more likely to have a nonshockable rhythm (p = 0.001) than men. Evaluation of survival rate and favorable neurological outcome by sex category showed no significant differences at 28-day and 180-day follow-up. In multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis, age (odds ratio 0.932 [95% confidence interval 0.891–0.951], p = 0.002) and time of hypoxia (0.899 [0.850–0.951], p < 0.001) proved to be independent predictors of survival only in male patients, whereas an initial shockable rhythm (4.325 [1.309–14.291], p = 0.016) was associated with 180-day survival in female patients. The majority of patients (93.7%) remained in the same CPC category when comparing 28-day and 180-day follow-up.

Conclusion

Our results show no significant sex-specific differences in survival or favorable neurological outcome in elderly patients after having survived OHCA, but sex-specific predictors for 180-day survival. Moreover, the neurological assessment 28 days after the index event also seems to provide a valid indication for the further prognosis in elderly patients.

Blutdrucksenkung schon im Rettungswagen bei akutem Schlaganfall?

31.05.2024 Apoplex Nachrichten

Der optimale Ansatz für die Blutdruckkontrolle bei Patientinnen und Patienten mit akutem Schlaganfall ist noch nicht gefunden. Ob sich eine frühzeitige Therapie der Hypertonie noch während des Transports in die Klinik lohnt, hat jetzt eine Studie aus China untersucht.

Ähnliche Überlebensraten nach Reanimation während des Transports bzw. vor Ort

Laut einer Studie aus den USA und Kanada scheint es bei der Reanimation von Kindern außerhalb einer Klinik keinen Unterschied für das Überleben zu machen, ob die Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen während des Transports in die Klinik stattfinden oder vor Ort ausgeführt werden. Jedoch gibt es dabei einige Einschränkungen und eine wichtige Ausnahme.

Eine ältere Frau trinkt regelmäßig Sennesblättertee gegen ihre Verstopfung. Der scheint plötzlich gut zu wirken. Auf Durchfall und Erbrechen folgt allerdings eine Hyponatriämie. Nach deren Korrektur kommt es plötzlich zu progredienten Kognitions- und Verhaltensstörungen.

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.
