    AbstractA critical review of a meta-analysis published in JAMA of early clinical neurological signs to detect "good" or "bad" outcome after cardiac arrest is presented. The review focuses on weaknesses of Glasgow Coma Scale, the Glasgow-Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) and on individual differences in factors after arrest for study inclusion. It is suggested that the clinical assessments should be complemented with the assessment of neurochemical markers for brain damage.
