Review Meta Analysis
Pre-Arrest and Intra-Arrest Prognostic Factors Associated with Survival Following Traumatic Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
To summarize the prognostic associations of pre- and intra-arrest factors with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival (in-hospital or 30 days) after traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. ⋯ This review provides very low to moderate certainty evidence that pre- and intra-arrest prognostic factors following penetrating or blunt traumatic OHCA predict ROSC and survival. This evidence is primarily based on unadjusted data. Further well-designed studies with larger cohorts are warranted to test the adjusted prognostic ability of pre- and intra-arrest factors and guide therapeutic decision-making.
