Long-term functional recovery and health-related quality of life of elderly out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors
Abstract
Introduction Understanding the prognosis of elderly out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients is vital to informing resuscitation and advanced care planning decisions. However, short-term outcomes such as survival to hospital discharge do not account for post-arrest quality of life. We describe the 12-month functional recovery and health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) of elderly OHCA survivors, including those arresting in aged care facilities. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of Victorian Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry data for all OHCA survivors to hospital discharge aged ≥65 years between 1 January 2010 and 30 June 2016. The influence of age on functional recovery and independent living was assessed using multivariable logistic regression. Results During the study period, 20,103 elderly OHCAs were attended, 9016 (44.9%) of whom received a resuscitation attempt. In total, 876 (9.7%) patients survived to hospital discharge and 777 were alive 12 months post-arrest. Of these, 651 participated in 12-month follow-up (response rate 83.8%). Most (60.6%) resided at home without additional care and 66.6% reported a good functional recovery, however both measures decreased with increasing age (p Conclusions Most elderly OHCA survivors resided independently with good functionality 12 months post-arrest. However, increasing age was associated with less favourable outcomes. New strategies are needed with regard to resuscitation in aged care facilities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
