- N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic (NT-proBNP) is expressed in the heart and brain, and serum levels are elevated in acute heart and brain diseases. We aimed to assess the possible association between serum levels and neurological outcome and death in comatose patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Of the 939 comatose OHCA patients enrolled and randomized in the Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) trial to TTM at 33°C or 36°C for 24 hours, 700 were included in the biomarker substudy. Of these, 647 (92%) had serum levels of NT-proBNP measured 24, 48, and 72 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Neurological outcome was evaluated by the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 months. Six hundred thirty-eight patients (99%) had serum NT-proBNP levels ≥125 pg/ml. Patients with TTM at 33°C had significantly lower NT-proBNP serum levels (median 1,472 pg/ml) than those in the 36°C group (1,914 pg/ml) at 24 hours after ROSC, p <0.01 but not at 48 and 72 hours. At 24 hours, an increase in NT-proBNP quartile was associated with death (Plogrank <0.0001). In addition, NT-proBNP serum levels > median were independently associated with poor neurological outcome (odds ratio, ORCPC 2.02, CI 1.34 to 3.05, p <0.001; ORmRS 2.28, CI 1.50 to 3.46, p <0.001) adjusted for potential confounders. The association was diminished at 48 and 72 hours after ROSC. In conclusion, NT-proBNP serum levels are increased in comatose OHCA patients. Furthermore, serum NT-proBNP levels are affected by level of TTM and are associated with death and poor neurological outcome.

- Background: Data suggests that the plasma levels of the liver-specific miR-122-5p might both be a marker of cardiogenic shock and a prognostic marker of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Our aim was to characterize plasma miR-122-5p at admission after OHCA and to assess the association between miR-122-5p and relevant clinical factors such all-cause mortality and shock at admission after OHCA. Methods: In the pilot trial, 10 survivors after OHCA were compared to 10 age- and sex-matched controls. In the main trial, 167 unconscious survivors of OHCA from the Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) trial were included. Results: In the pilot trial, plasma miR-122-5p at admission after OHCA was 400-fold elevated compared to controls. In the main trial, plasma miR-122-5p at admission was independently associated with lactate and bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation. miR-122-5p at admission was not associated with shock at admission (p = 0.14) or all-cause mortality (p = 0.35). Target temperature (33 °C vs 36 °C) was not associated with miR-122-5p levels at any time point. Conclusions: After OHCA, miR-122-5p demonstrated a marked acute increase in plasma and was independently associated with lactate and bystander resuscitation. However, miR-122-5p at admission was not associated with all-cause mortality or shock at admission.

- Purpose: This study investigates the association between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and renal function after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Materials and methods: Post-hoc analysis of 851 comatose OHCA-patients surviving >48 h included in the targeted temperature management (TTM)-trial. Results: Patients were stratified by mean MAP during TTM in the following groups; <70 mmHg (22%), 70–80 mmHg (43%), and > 80 mmHg (35%). Median (interquartile range) eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m2) 48 h after OHCA was inversely associated with MAP-group (70 (47–102), 84 (56–113), 94 (61–124), p <.001, for the <70-group, 70–80-group and > 80-group respectively). After adjusting for potential confounders, in a mixed model including eGFR after 1, 2 and 3 days this association remained significant (pgroup_adjusted = 0.0002). Higher mean MAP was independently associated with lower odds of renal replacement therapy (odds ratioadjusted = 0.77 [95% confidence interval, 0.65–0.91] per 5 mmHg increase; p =.002]). Conclusions: Low mean MAP during TTM was independently associated with decreased renal function and need of renal replacement therapy in a large cohort of comatose OHCA-patients. Increasing MAP above the recommended 65 mmHg could potentially be renal-protective. This hypothesis should be investigated in prospective trials.

- Objectives. We investigated whether comorbidity burden of comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) affects outcome and if comorbidity modifies the effect of target temperature management (TTM) on final outcome. Design. The TTM trial randomized 939 patients to 24 h of TTM at either 33 or 36 °C with no difference regarding mortality and neurological outcome. This post-hoc study of the TTM-trial formed a modified comorbidity index (mCI), based on available comorbidities from the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI). Results. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) decreased with higher comorbidity group, p = 0.01. Comorbidity groups were univariately associated with higher mortality compared to mCI0 (HRmCI1: 1.55, CI: 1.25–1.93, p mCI2: 2.01, CI: 1.55–2.62, p mCI ≥ 3: 2.16, CI: 1.57–2.97, p C11: 1.17, CI: 0.92–1.48, p = 0.21, HRmCI2: 1.28, CI: 0.96–1.71, p = 0.10, HRmCI ≥ 3: 1.37, CI: 0.97–1.95, p = 0.08). There was no interaction between comorbidity burden and level of TTM on outcome, p = 0.61. Conclusion. Comorbidity burden was associated with higher mortality following OHCA, but when adjusting for confounders, the influence was no longer significant. The association between mCI and mortality was not modified by TTM. Comorbidity burden is associated with lower rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation after OHCA.
