Key result
Preexisting neurobehavioral impairment links to ~33% one-year survival after pediatric cardiac arrest.
Why the study?
Survival and neurobehavioral outcomes after cardiac arrest in children with preexisting neurobehavioral impairment were not well described.
What are the survival and neurobehavioral outcomes in children with preexisting neurobehavioral impairment following cardiac arrest?
Observational (n=84)
Yes
What are the survival and neurobehavioral outcomes in children with preexisting neurobehavioral impairment following cardiac arrest?
Children with preexisting neurobehavioral impairment who suffer cardiac arrest have a 33% 12-month survival rate, with varied neurobehavioral trajectories depending on whether the arrest was in-hospital or out-of-hospital.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Variable outcomes after arrest in this subgroup warrant careful trial inclusion; leaves open optimal neuroprotection strategies.

Christensen et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Cardiac arrest with preexisting neurobehavioral impairment (n=84). Preexisting neurobehavioral impairment vs. Children without precardiac arrest neurobehavioral impairment was evaluated on Survival to 12 months. Among children with preexisting neurobehavioral impairment who suffered cardiac arrest, 33% survived to 12 months, with in-hospital arrest survival significantly lower than in those without impairment.
