Demography, medical history, characteristics of the cardiac arrest, patient admission characteristics and outcome in all patients (n = 163) and in patients stratified according to admission serum thrombomodulin (high (>median) vs. low (≤median), n = 160) admitted to a tertiary university hospital after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

<p>Data are presented as medians (IQR) or n (%). Patients stratified according to the median serum level of thrombomodulin at admission were compared by Mann-Whitney U test or Chi-square/Fisher´s exact tests as appropriate, with p-values <0.05 shown in bold. AMI, acute myocardial infarction. TIA, transient ischemic attack. COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention. CABG, coronary artery bypass graft. Location: R, place of residence; P, public place; O, other. CPR, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Shockable rhythm: ventricular fibrillation, nonperfusing ventricular tachycardia, unknown rhythm responsive to shock, perfusing rhythm after bystander-initiated defibrillation; non-shockable rhythm: asystole, pulseless electrical activity, unknown rhythm not responsive to shock. ROSC, return of spontaneous circulation. ECG (electrocardiography) findings: U, unchanged from previously/normal; S, ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI); L, left bundle branch block; A, atrial fibrillation or flutter; O, other. Discharge facility: O, other hospital/intensive care unit; R, rehabilitation facility; H, home; CPC, Cerebral Performance Category (1–2 designates good outcome); mRS, modified Rankin Scale (0–3 designates good outcome).</p><p>Demography, medical history, characteristics of the cardiac arrest, patient admission characteristics and outcome in all patients (n = 163) and in patients stratified according to admission serum thrombomodulin (high (>median) vs. low (≤median), n = 160) admitted to a tertiary university hospital after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
