Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for predicting the clinical outcome of comatose survivors after cardiac arrest: a cohort study
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to examine whether the patterns of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) abnormalities and quantitative regional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values can predict the clinical outcome of comatose patients following cardiac arrest. METHODS Thirty-nine patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were prospectively investigated. Within five d...
متن کاملPredicting clinical outcome in comatose cardiac arrest patients using early noncontrast computed tomography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early assessment of the likelihood of neurological recovery in comatose cardiac arrest survivors remains challenging. We hypothesize that quantitative noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) combined with neurological assessments, are predictive of outcome. METHODS We analyzed data sets acquired from comatose cardiac arrest patients who underwent CT within 72 hours of ar...
متن کاملEarly diffusion MR imaging findings and short-term outcome in comatose patients with hypoglycemia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relationship between the MR imaging features and clinical outcomes in patients with hypoglycemic encephalopathy has always been evaluated retrospectively. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate whether MR imaging features of patients presenting with hypoglycemic coma are predictive of short-term (1-week) outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects were 36 ...
متن کاملPredicting Neurologic Outcome in Cardiac Arrest Patients
Researchers in South Korea previously reported that diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) could be used to predict neurologic outcomes before targeted temperature management (TTM) after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) from cardiac arrest. In a new study, the same team of researchers compared the efficacy of brain computed tomography (CT) and DW-MRI to predict neurologi...
