| アブストラクト | AIM: Several studies have reported that corticosteroid administration for cardiac arrest patients may improve outcomes. However, these previous studies have not examined the effect of corticosteroid use in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients administered extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Therefore, we aimed to examine the effectiveness of corticosteroids in OHCA patients administered ECPR. METHODS: Using the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination inpatient database, we included OHCA patients who were administered ECPR on the day of admission between July 2010 and March 2019. The patients were categorized into the corticosteroid and control groups according to whether they received corticosteroids on the day of admission or not. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality and the secondary outcomes included percentages of neurologically favorable survival, major bleeding complications, and infection-related complications. We compared the outcomes using a propensity score matching analysis. RESULTS: We identified 6,142 eligible patients (459 vs 5,683, the corticosteroid and control group, respectively). One-to-four propensity score matching analysis (457 vs 1,827) showed in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in the corticosteroid group compared with the control group (82.1% vs 76.6%; risk difference, 5.5%; 95% CI, 1.5 to 9.5%). Neurologically favorable outcomes did not differ between the two groups (13.6% vs 16.9%; risk difference, -3.3%; 95% CI, -6.9 to 0.3%). The percentage of major bleeding complications and infection-related complications did not significantly differ between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study demonstrated that administration of corticosteroids on the day of admission to OHCA patients administered ECPR was associated with increased in-hospital mortality. |
