PG - 6-15 LID - 10.1177/2048872614534079 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The mortality rate among patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in the setting of cardiac arrest (CA) and whether the location where the patient sustains CA influences the outcome is not known in the contemporary era. METHODS: Prospectively collected data at a tertiary cardiac centre on all patients undergoing PPCI for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the setting of CA was analysed. RESULTS: In total, 484/4118 (11.8%) patients sustained CA during the study period. Of these, 91/484 (18.8%) sustained CA prior to ambulance arrival, the remainder occurred either after ambulance arrival or in hospital. The overall in-hospital mortality was 20.5% in this cohort. Those sustaining CA before ambulance arrival experienced the highest unadjusted mortality compared to those that had CA after ambulance arrival, in hospital and in the catheterisation laboratory (29.7% versus 12.0%, 16.1% and 23.8% respectively, p=0.03). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the following parameters are independent predictors of in-hospital mortality: age (odds ratio (OR) for each year increment of age 1.05; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.08, p=0.0009); female gender (OR 2.42; 95% CI 1.17-4.99, p=0.0173); previous PCI (OR 7.59; 95% CI 1.72-33.53, p=0.0075); asystole/ electromechanical dissociation (EMD) (OR 13.43; 95% CI 5.34-33.80, p<0.0001); and patient location at arrest (OR 5.77 for before ambulance arrival; 95% CI 2.55-13.07, p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, in-hospital mortality remains high among patients undergoing PPCI in the context of CA, particularly among those that arrest prior to ambulance arrival.
