Key result
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest did not significantly affect long-term post-discharge all-cause mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction who survived to hospital discharge.
Why the study?
AMI patients complicated by OHCA have poor in-hospital outcomes, but the post-discharge outcomes of OHCA survivors have not been well studied.
Does out-of-hospital cardiac arrest affect post-discharge survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction?

No
Does out-of-hospital cardiac arrest affect post-discharge survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Among acute myocardial infarction patients who survive to hospital discharge, a history of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest does not negatively impact subsequent survival.
Reassures equivalent long-term survival for AMI discharge survivors with or without OHCA; confirms neutral effect in this RCT.
Background:Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients complicated by out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) show poor in-hospital outcomes. However, the post-discharge outcomes of survivors of OHCA have not been well studied.

Kubota et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=635). Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest vs. No out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was evaluated on All-cause mortality (long-term post-discharge). Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest did not significantly affect long-term post-discharge all-cause mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction who survived to hospital discharge.
