Resuscitation
-
To evaluate the performance of kidney-specific biomarkers (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and cystatin-C) in early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac arrest (CA) when compared to serum creatinine. ⋯ In post-CA patients, creatinine, NGAL, and cystatin-C (but not KIM-1) measured shortly after ROSC were higher in patients who subsequently developed AKI. No biomarker was statistically superior to creatinine on its own for predicting the development of post-arrest AKI.
-
To evaluate the association between race/ethnicity and the odds of receiving bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (bCPR) after witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). ⋯ Racial/ethnic disparities exist for Black and Hispanic persons in the odds of receiving bCPR after a witnessed non-traumatic OHCA regardless of public or private setting, neighborhood income level, or population density.
