Table 1.

Subgroups of patients with hospital admission, 24-hour survival and good neurological outcome at hospital discharge

Hospital admission (n) 24-hour survival Good neurological outcome
n % n %
Normothermia (total) 405 236 58 77 19
 VF/pVT 150 108 72 39 26
 Non-VF/pVT 255 128 50 38 15
 PCI 81 67 83 44 54
 No PCI 324 169 52 33 10
Hypothermia (total) 179 163 91 60 34
 VF/pVT 95 87 92 42 44
 Non-VF/pVT 84 76 90 18 21
 PCI 73 70 96 36 49
 No PCI 106 93 88 24 23

Subgroups of patients were arranged by: temperature management (normothermia vs. hypothermia), by first ECG rhythm (ventricular fibrillation (VF)/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT) vs. non-VF/pVT), and by coronary intervention (percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed within 24 hours after successful resuscitation vs. no PCI).
