Prognoseabschätzung bei Reanimation – Vergleich verfügbarer Scores
摘要
Risk stratification and determination of prognosis is important during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in order to decide on termination or escalation of therapy.
ObjectiveTo identify and compare scores which can be easily determined in the emergency department and which predict 30-day survival with good neurological result (defined as Cerebral Performance Score [CPC] of 1 or 2) after nontraumatic OHCA.
Materials and methodsWe identified SWAP score, GRApH score, and a 4-step model in a literature search. We calculated these scores as well as CaRdiac Arrest Survival Score (CRASS) in 570 adult patients who were admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and May 2023 after nontraumatic OHCA and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We compared area under the receiver–operator curve (AUROC), sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and calibration in our cohort.
ResultsThe 30-day survival with CPC 1/2 was 15.4%. AUROC was comparable between all tests (CRASS 0.89 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.85–0.92], SWAP 0.84 [95%CI 0.79–0.89], GRApH 0.84 [95%CI 0.79–0.89], 4‑step score 0.81 [95%CI 0.76–0.86]); only CRASS and 4‑step-model differed significantly (p < 0.01). Positive predictive value was highest in the lowest stratum of the 4‑step model (97.7%) and the SWAP (100%); negative predictive value was highest in the highest stratum of GRApH (87.5%) and SWAP (70.8%).
ConclusionThere are well-validated scores for determination of prognosis during CPR. These can be used by emergency medical service or emergency department staff to make a transparent and objective decision on escalation or de-escalation of therapy in cardiac arrest.
