- Abstract
- (1) Background: Post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) is a type of global ischemic reperfusion injury that occurs after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The procalcitonin to albumin ratio (PAR) has been studied as an independent prognostic factor of various diseases. There are no previous studies of PAR in patients with PCAS. We assessed if PAR is more effective than procalcitonin (PCT) in predicting prognosis for patients with PCAS. (2) Methods: This retrospective cohort study included a total of 187 patients with PCAS after non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) between January 2016 and December 2020. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between PAR and PCAS prognosis. The predictive performance of PAR was compared with PCT via the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and DeLong test.; (3) Results: PAR at 24 and 48 h after hospital admission were independently associated with one-month neurological outcome (OR: 1.167, 95% CI: 1.023-1.330; OR: 1.077, 95% CI: 1.012-1.146, p < 0.05). By ROC analysis, PAR showed better performance over PCT at 48 h after admission in predicting one-month CPC (0.763 vs. 0.772, p = 0.010). (4) Conclusions: Our findings suggest that PAR at 48 h after admission is more effective in predicting a one-month neurological outcome than PCT at 48 h after admission in patients with PCAS after OHCA.
