Table 4. Achieved Mean Arterial Blood Pressure as a Predictor of Poor Outcome.

Relationship between achieved MAP and poor neurologic outcome adjusting for age, initial rhythm, time to ROSC and baseline MAP. Poor neurologic outcome was defined as CPC 3–5.

Odds of poor outcome at hospital discharge using NIMAP
Characteristic Odds ratio 95% confidence interval p-value
Age 2.03 1.00–4.11 0.051
Initial rhythm (PEA/Asystole) 8.48 3.02–23.83 <0.001
Time to ROSC 9.09 3.63–22.77 <0.001
Baseline NIMAP 0.62 0.20–1.91 0.619
Achieved NIMAP 1.28 0.40–4.06 0.87
Odds of poor outcome at outpatient follow up using NIMAP
Characteristic Odds ratio 95% confidence interval p-value

Age 2.48 1.08–5.69 0.055
Initial rhythm (PEA/Asystole) 3.97 1.43–11.03 0.008
Time to ROSC 5.84 2.45–13.91 0.003
Baseline NIMAP 0.95 0.29–3.04 0.481
Achieved NIMAP 1.09 0.32–3.75 0.976
Odds of poor outcome at hospital discharge using AMAP
Characteristic Odds ratio 95% confidence interval p-value

Age 2.55 1.11–5.86 0.027
Initial rhythm (PEA/Asystole) 8.02 2.68–23.95 <0.001
Time to ROSC 15.5 3.30–72.78 0.002
Baseline AMAP 1.07 0.49–2.33 0.643
Achieved AMAP 0.73 0.32–1.67 0.717
Odds of poor outcome at outpatient follow up using AMAP
Characteristic Odds ratio 95% confidence interval p-value

Age 3.46 1.31–9.12 0.025
Initial rhythm (PEA/Asystole) 4.08 1.31–12.71 0.015
Time to ROSC 11.32 2.02–63.39 0.017
Baseline AMAP 1.05 0.42–2.59 0.989
Achieved AMAP 0.88 0.33–2.35 0.714

AMAP = Invasive (Arterial) Mean Arterial Blood Pressure; NIMAP = Noninvasive Mean Arterial Blood Pressure; PEA = Pulseless Electrical Activity; ROSC = Return of Spontaneous Circulation
