PURPOSE: In patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), early and accurate outcome prediction is crucial for making treatment decisions and informing their relatives. A previous study reported an association between high phosphate levels and unfavorable neurological outcomes after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC); however, its prognostic value was insufficient when used independently. Therefore, this study aimed to validate the usefulness of the phosphate-to-albumin ratio (PAR) in predicting neurological outcomes and in-hospital mortality by incorporating albumin, another known prognostic indicator.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This multicenter observational study included adult OHCA survivors from October 2015 to June 2021. The primary endpoint was an unfavorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge, defined as a cerebral performance category score of 3-5. The in-hospital mortality rates were also evaluated.

RESULTS: Of the 2397 adult OHCA survivors, PAR differed significantly between the unfavorable and favorable neurological outcome groups, as well as between the non-survival and survival to hospital discharge groups (2.4 vs 1.4, 2.5 vs 1.6, respectively). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) value of the PAR for predicting unfavorable neurological outcome was 0.81 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79-0.83), and the AUROC value for predicting in-hospital mortality was 0.76 (95% CI, 0.74-0.78). In multivariable analysis, the PAR was independently associated with unfavorable neurological outcome (odds ratio [OR] 1.30, 95% CI 1.15-1.37; p < 0.001) and in-hospital mortality (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.12-1.38; p < 0.001).

CONCLUSION: The PAR is a readily obtainable and independent prognostic indicator for patients with ROSC after OHCA, helping healthcare providers in predicting outcomes.
