Glycated Hemoglobin is Associated with Glycemic Control and 6-Month Neurologic Outcome in Cardiac Arrest Survivors Undergoing Therapeutic Hypothermia

Background Glucose control status after cardiac arrest depending on chronic glycemic status and the association between chronic glycemic status and outcome in cardiac arrest survivors are not well known. We investigated the association between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and 6-month neurologic outcome in cardiac arrest survivors undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and whether mean glucose, area under curve (AUC) of glucose during TH, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) are different between normal and high HbA1c groups.
