ABSTRACT
Background:
The clinical impact of signs of life (SOLs) in traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to examine the association between SOLs and survival/neurological outcomes in TCA patients.Methods:
Retrospective data from the Japan Trauma Data Bank (2019-2021) was reviewed. TCA patients were assigned to one of two study groups based on the presence or absence of SOLs and compared. SOLs were defined as having at least one of following criteria pulseless electrical activity >40 beats per minute, gasping, positive light reflex, or extremity/eye movement at hospital arrival. The primary outcome was survival at hospital discharge. The secondary outcome was favorable neurological status (Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 4 or 5) at hospital discharge.Results:
A total of 1,981 patients (114 with SOLs and 1,867 without SOLs) were included. Characteristics of patients were as follows age (median age 60.0 years old [interquartile range 41-80] years vs. 55.4 [38-75] years), gender (male 76/114 (66.7%) vs. 1,207/1,867 (65.0%), blunt trauma (90/111 [81.1%] vs. 1,559/1,844 [84.5%]), Injury Severity Score (29.2 [22-41] vs. 27.9 [20-34]). Patients with SOLs showed higher survival (10/114 (8.8%) vs. 25/1,867 (1.3%), OR 1.96 [CI 1.20-2.72]) and higher favorable neurological outcomes (4/110 (3.5%) vs. 6/1,865 (0.3%), OR 2.42 [CI 1.14-3.70]) compared with patients without SOLs.Conclusions:
TCA patients with SOLs at hospital arrival showed higher survival and favorable neurological outcomes at hospital discharge compared with TCA patients without SOLs.
