Abstract
- BACKGROUND: Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) is a class I recommendation for the management of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) patients with presumed brain injury. We aimed to study trends, predictors and outcomes in SCA patients from a nationally represented US population sample. METHODS: We utilized the National Inpatient Sample from years 2005 to 2014 for the purpose of our study. Patients with SCA and anoxic brain injury were selected using relevant ICD-9 codes. Data were analyzed for trends over the years and key outcomes were assessed. Logistic regression analysis was done to determine predictors of TTM utilization in our study population. RESULTS: A total of 78,465 patients with SCA and anoxic brain injury were identified from January 2005 to December 2014. Out of these, approximately 4,481 (5.7%) patients underwent TTM. Patients that underwent TTM were younger compared to patients without TTM utilization (60.67 vs. 63.27 years, P < 0.01). African Americans, Hispanics and women were less likely to undergo TTM. Myocardial infarction, electrolyte disorders and cardiogenic shock were associated with higher odds of TTM utilization. Sepsis, renal failure and diabetes were associated with underutilization of TTM. Inpatient mortality was higher in patients who did not undergo TTM when compared to patients who underwent TTM (67.30% vs. 65.10%, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Although TTM utilization increased over our study period, the overall application of TTM was still dismal. Factors that circumvent TTM utilization need to be addressed in future studies so more eligible patients could benefit from this life saving therapy.
