Estimation of severity of illness with APACHE II: age-related implications in cardiac arrest outcomes

Out of hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation outcome in North India — CARO study

“…[16] The duration of CPR is a good predictor of outcome as demonstrated by us and numerous others. [17][18][19] In our study, CPR duration of 30 minutes was taken as a cut off and it was found that out of 59% patients with OHCA, who received CPR for a duration of less than or equal to 30 minutes, ROSC was achieved in 32.5% of them whereas not a single patient could be revived in the remaining 32.5% of patients, who received CPR for a duration of more than 30 minutes. This shows that the CPR duration of more than 30 minutes in OHCA patients is associated with very poor outcome.…”

The association between blood lactate concentration on admission, duration of cardiac arrest, and functional neurological recovery in patients resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation

“…The median age was 62 years (IQR 52-70) and 138 patients were male (91%). The median duration of no flow was 3 min (IQR < 1-9), the median duration of low flow was 13 min (IQR 5-24), and the median total duration of cardiac arrest, that is, from collapse until return of spontaneous circulation, was 18 min (IQR [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. The median duration of the time interval from return of spontaneous circulation until arrival in the emergency department was 35 min (IQR 20-46).…”

“…The observed interindividual variations of the association between lactate and duration of cardiac arrest (Fig.l) are most likely explained by the assumption that lactate production and elimination is determined by multiple factors (also probably affecting outcome), such as preexisting disease [21][22][23], substrate availability [24] and cumulative amounts of epinephrine administered during resuscitation [16,17,25].…”

Relationship Between Age and Trajectories of Rehospitalization Risk in Older Adults

“…These findings contrast with what is known about mortality risk after hospitalization, which has been strongly linked to age for multiple admitting conditions. [13][14][15][16][17] Factors closely associated with aging such as lower physiological reserve, 18,19 geriatric syndromes, and functional impairments may therefore be less important to readmission than mortality.…”
