Continuous variables are indicated as the median (range), and categorical variables are indicated as the number (frequency). CA: cardiac arrest; COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CPR: cardiopulmonary resuscitation; MI: myocardial infarction; PEA: pulseless electric activity; ROSC: return of spontaneously circulation; VF: ventricular fibrillation; VT: ventricular tachycardia. Good outcome is CPC 1 or 2. Poor outcome is CPC 3, 4, or 5. Missing data: heart failure status for 2 patients, ischemic heart disease status for 1 patient, hypertension status for 1 patient, previous cerebral stroke status for 1 patient, diabetes mellitus status for 3 patients, alcohol abuse status for 1 patient, and lactate levels for 36 patients. values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant and are in bold.
