ABSTRACT

AIM:

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of early thiamine and ascorbic acid administration on the neurologic outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM).

METHODS:

This before-and-after cohort study used data extracted from two hospitals of the Korean Hypothermia Network prospective registry. The treatment group incorporated patients enrolled from December 2019 to May 2021, that received intravenous thiamine (200 mg) and ascorbic acid (3 g) at 12-hour intervals for a total of six doses. The control group incorporated those enrolled from May 2018 to November 2019. The one-month good neurologic outcome, defined as a Cerebral Performance Category score ≤ 2, between the groups was evaluated using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW).

RESULTS:

Among the 234 OHCA survivors with TTM, 102 were included in the treatment group and 132 were included in the control group. The one-month (31.4 % vs. 29.5 %, respectively; P = 0.76) good neurologic outcome rates did not differ between the treatment and control groups. After adjusting using the IPTW, vitamin supplementation was not associated with good neurologic outcome (odds ratio [OR], 1.134; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.644-1.999; P = 0.66). In subgroup analysis, vitamin administration was significantly associated with a good neurologic outcome in older (≥65 years) patients (adjusted OR, 5.53; 95 % CI, 1.21-25.23; P = 0.03).

CONCLUSION:

Adjuvant thiamine and ascorbic acid administration in OHCA survivors with TTM did not improve their neurologic outcome after one month. Further clinical trials are warranted.
