Effect of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests: A case-control study

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Preferences of People Receiving Dialysis

“…[1][2][3]6 Less than 25% of patients who experience a cardiac arrest during dialysis treatment survive to hospital discharge, and only 8% to 15% survive more than 1 year after the arrest. 3,[6][7][8][9][10] Most prior studies have also shown that outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest are less favorable for these patients than for more broadly defined populations, with only one-half surviving beyond 5 months (compared with almost 3 years for the general population). 11,12 Patients receiving maintenance dialysis who survive a cardiac arrest in the hospital are also more likely to be discharged to a skilled nursing facility compared with other survivors of cardiac arrest.…”

“…Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death occurs 20 times more often in people receiving dialysis than in the general population . Less than 25% of patients who experience a cardiac arrest during dialysis treatment survive to hospital discharge, and only 8% to 15% survive more than 1 year after the arrest . Most prior studies have also shown that outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest are less favorable for these patients than for more broadly defined populations, with only one-half surviving beyond 5 months (compared with almost 3 years for the general population) .…”

Association between eGFR and neurological outcomes among patients with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest: A nationwide prospective study in Japan

“… 6 Renal dysfunction is reportedly associated with a high incidence of cardiogenic CA and mortality. 3 , 4 The relationship between renal dysfunction and neurological outcomes after CA might be explained by the mechanism of the brain's original vulnerability to ischemia, impaired cerebral autoregulation, and cardiovascular dysfunction in the presence of renal dysfunction. Renal dysfunction is associated with cerebral white matter lesions, which are ischemic lesions also linked to dementia and other disorders.…”

“…Previous studies targeting presumed cardiogenic OHCA patients revealed an association between eGFR and incidence of OHCA, and neurological outcomes. 3 , 4 However, determining the cause of CA during resuscitation remains challenging, thus limiting the clinical applicability of such studies. Additionally, while cardiac rhythm is a dominant factor in characterizing the features of OHCAs, 5 , 6 , 7 it was not considered in the previous studies.…”
