“…This evidence stresses both the importance of a long-term follow-up of OHCA patients to better comprehend the long-term issues of survivors and the utility to use the subgroups of patients suggested by Utstein to also evaluate the long-term outcome. This is also reinforced considering that, in our analysis, we highlighted a similar trend in SMR considering the patients discharged alive with a good neurological outcome (CPC 1 or 2), so excluding those patients with a CPC of 3 or 4 at discharge, which is a recognized predictor of mortality during follow-up ( 30 ). The higher mortality risk compared to the general population emphasizes the need both of future research focus on this specific topic to comprehend the reasons for a higher SMR in patients discharged with a good neurological outcome and of strictly monitoring the OHCA patients discharged alive, regardless of the neurological outcome, to prevent possible future complications and early death in the follow-up.…”

“…Another study from the 1900's in the U.S. highlighted a better survival in patients aged 65 or less, with a long-term survival similar to the general population, but they included only the patients with first shockable presenting rhythm who received rapid defibrillation ( 29 ). Selection was also biased in a recent study from Spain ( 30 ), where only patients admitted alive in the Acute Cardiac Care Unit were included. Significant morbidities and mortality were observed in the short- and long-term period in this cohort of patients, identifying a negative neurological outcome at discharge, a non-shockable presenting rhythm, a long collapse to resuscitation time, age, and a low ejection fraction at discharge as predictors of a worse prognosis.…”

“…As a result of the increase in the rate of good prognosis of OHCA patients, the long-term effects in surviving patients would be increased. Surviving patients could develop neurological sequelae caused by both initial anoxia and subsequent ischaemia-reperfusion injury, and such sequelae could affect their physical, cognitive, and psychosocial characteristics [4][5][6].…”

“…1 Although timely and advanced emergency aid helps to improve the probability of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and subsequent survival, only about 9% of OHCA patients achieve good neurological function at discharge. 1 Notably, survivors with good neurological function can still suffer from cognitive impairment 2 and encounter problems while returning to work. 3 Currently, targeted temperature management (TTM), previously called therapeutic hypothermia, is the sole intervention for improving neurological outcomes in the post-ROSC phase of care.…”
