Abstract
Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) are a major global health concern, occurring frequently worldwide. Obesity may impact outcomes in OHCA patients.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of obesity on the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in OHCA patients, considering sex differences.
Material and methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, analyzing medical records of patients assisted by the Emergency Medical System (EMS) in Poland from January 2021 to June 2022. The study included 33,636 patients with OHCA. Obesity status was determined using ICD-10 codes (E66) and descriptive diagnoses recorded by EMS teams.
Results: Univariate analysis indicated that obesity decreased the odds of ROSC by 25.47% (odds ratio (OR) = 0.75, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.61-0.92) in women and by 19.76% (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.66-0.97) in men. However, multivariate analysis, adjusting for confounding variables, did not confirm a statistically significant impact of obesity on ROSC outcomes. The likelihood of ROSC was significantly higher in individuals with an initial ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT) rhythm compared to Asystole/pulseless electrical activity (PEA), being 4.204 times higher in women (95% CI: 3.525-5.014) and 3.655 times in men (95% CI: 3.320-4.023). Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a public place increased the odds of ROSC more than twofold for both sexes (women: OR = 2.20, 95% CI: 2.00-2.43; men: OR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.98-2.29). Among women without obesity, hypertension decreased the odds of ROSC by 11.11% (OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.81-0.99).
Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that obesity was not an independent predictor of ROSC in OHCA patients. Different predictors of ROSC were identified for men and women. Initial VF/pVT rhythm, location of OHCA and age were the significant factors influencing ROSC.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been published by the Wroclaw Medical University since 1992. Establishing the medical journal was the idea of Prof. Bogumił Halawa, Chair of the Department of Cardiology, and was fully supported by the Rector of Wroclaw Medical University, Prof. Zbigniew Knapik. Prof. Halawa was also the first editor-in-chief, between 1992-1997. The journal, then entitled "Postępy Medycyny Klinicznej i Doświadczalnej", appeared quarterly.
Prof. Leszek Paradowski was editor-in-chief from 1997-1999. In 1998 he initiated alterations in the profile and cover design of the journal which were accepted by the Editorial Board. The title was changed to Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine. Articles in English were welcomed. A number of outstanding representatives of medical science from Poland and abroad were invited to participate in the newly established International Editorial Staff.
Prof. Antonina Harłozińska-Szmyrka was editor-in-chief in years 2000-2005, in years 2006-2007 once again prof. Leszek Paradowski and prof. Maria Podolak-Dawidziak was editor-in-chief in years 2008-2016. Since 2017 the editor-in chief is prof. Maciej Bagłaj.
Since July 2005, original papers have been published only in English. Case reports are no longer accepted. The manuscripts are reviewed by two independent reviewers and a statistical reviewer, and English texts are proofread by a native speaker.
The journal has been indexed in several databases: Scopus, Ulrich’sTM International Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus and since 2007 in Thomson Reuters databases: Science Citation Index Expanded i Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
In 2010 the journal obtained Impact Factor which is now 1.179 pts. Articles published in the journal are worth 15 points among Polish journals according to the Polish Committee for Scientific Research and 169.43 points according to the Index Copernicus.
Since November 7, 2012, Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been indexed and included in National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. English abstracts printed in the journal are included and searchable using PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.
