Brain death (BD) occurs in 9-24% of successfully resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). To predict BD after OHCA, we developed a novel brain death risk (BDR) score. ⋯ The BDR score identifies those at highest risk for BD after OHCA. Our data suggest that a BDR score >4 is the optimal cut off.

To evaluate neuron-specific enolase (NSE) thresholds for prediction of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest and to analyze the influence of hemolysis and confounders. ⋯ The local ethics committee (board name: Ethikkommission der Charité) approved this study by the number: EA2/066/23, approval date: 28th June 2023, study title "'ROSC' - Resuscitation Outcome Study."
