Targeted temperature management (TTM) has been recommended for post-resuscitation care of cardiac arrest (CA) patients who remain comatose. However, the differences between cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic causes need further investigation. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the difference in outcomes between cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic CA patients receiving TTM.The TIMECARD registry established the study cohort and database for patients receiving TTM between January 2013 and September 2019. A total of 543 patients were enrolled, with 305 and 238 patients in the cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic groups, respectively.Compared with the non-cardiogenic group, the cardiogenic group had higher proportion of initial shockable rhythm, better survival (cardiogenic: 45.9%; non-cardiogenic: 30.7%, P = 0.0017), and better neurologic performance at discharge. In the cardiogenic group, witnessed collapse (OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.13-0.72), and coronary intervention (OR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.24-0.84) were positive predictors for overall outcome. Mean arterial pressure65 mmHg led to poor outcome regardless in the cardiogenic (OR = 3.31, 95% CI: 1.46-7.52) or non-cardiogenic group (OR = 2.39, 95% CI: 1.06-5.39).Patients with cardiogenic CA post TTM had better survival and neurologic performance at discharge than those without cardiogenic CA. Cardiogenic etiology was a potential predictor of better cardiac arrest survival, but it was not an independent risk factor for overall outcome after adjusting for potential covariates. In the cardiogenic group, better outcomes were reported in patients with witnessed collapse, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as well as those receiving coronary intervention. |
