چکیده
AIM We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and grey-to-white matter (GWR) either alone or in combination in patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM) after cardiac arrest (CA). METHODS We conducted a retrospective single centre study of post cardiac arrest patients treated with TTM. ONSD and GWR on brain computed tomography (CT) was measured by two emergency physicians. We analysed the prognostic performance and cut offs of GWR and ONSD, singly and in combination in predicting poor neurologic outcome (CPC 3-5). RESULTS Of the 119 patients studied, 74 patients showed poor outcome. The combination of ONSD and GWR significantly (p=0.002) improved prognostic performance (AUROC 0.67, 95% CI: 0.58-0.76, p<0.001) in predicting poor neurologic outcomes rather than each ONSD (AUROC 0.59, 95% CI: 0.50-0.68, p=0.08) or GWR (AUROC 0.65, 95% CI: 0.56-0.74, p=0.002) alone. A combined cut off of 'GWR and ONSD (1.16 and 4.9)' and 'GWR or ONSD (1.13 or 6.5)' improved the sensitivity for predicting poor outcome while maintaining high specificity compared to GWR alone. CONCLUSION The combination of ONSD and GWR yielded improved prognostic value for predicting poor neurologic outcomes in post cardiac arrest patients treated with TTM.

The association of findings on brain computed tomography with neurologic outcomes following extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation
BACKGROUND Limited data are available on imaging predictors of neurological outcomes after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). We investigated the association of initial brain computed tomography (CT) findings with neurological outcomes following ECPR. METHODS Between February 2005 and December 2015, a total of 42 patients who underwent brain CT scans within 48 h after ECPR w...

Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) enlargement on initial computed tomography (CT) scan has been found to be associated with increased mortality after severe traumatic brain injury. This could offer the possibility to detect patients with raised intracranial pressure requiring urgent therapeutic interventions and/or invasive intracranial monitoring to guide the treatment. The method to measure ...
