Background: The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) is used to assess
early ischemic stroke damage. This study compared bilateral ASPECTS (ASPECTS-b) with …

Background This study evaluated the association between the results of immediate brain
computed tomography (CT) scans and outcome in patients who were treated with …

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic hypothermia improves neurologic outcomes in patients
resuscitated from cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation. However, its role in patients …

BACKGROUND: Neurologic prognostication after cardiac arrest relies on clinical
examination findings derived before the advent of therapeutic hypothermia (TH). We …

Background: Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) may improve neurological outcome in comatose
patients following out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The reliability of clinical prediction of …

Background—Although the level of evidence of improvement is significant in cardiac arrest
patients resuscitated from a shockable rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular …

Introduction: Predicting outcome in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest is based on data
validated by guidelines that were established before the era of therapeutic hypothermia. We …

Purpose Little is known about the role of time to initiation of therapeutic hypothermia and
time to target temperature (TTT) in the prognosis of patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest …

Background: Currently, there are limited data of prognostic clues for neurological recovery in
comatose survivors undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH). We aimed to evaluate clinical …

This study aimed to determine whether accuracy and sensitivity concerning neurological
prognostic performance increased for survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) …
