Benoit JL, Hogan AN, Connelly KM, McMullan JT. Intra-arrest blood-based biomarkers for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A scoping review. J Am Coll Emerg Physicians Open 2024; 5:e13131. [PMID: 38500598 PMCID: PMC10945310 DOI: 10.1002/emp2.13131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Blood-based biomarkers play a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients, yet none are routinely measured during the intra-arrest phase of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Our objective was to describe methodological aspects, sources of evidence, and gaps in research surrounding intra-arrest blood-based biomarkers for OHCA. Methods We used scoping review methodology to summarize existing literature. The protocol was designed a priori following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Extension for Scoping Reviews. Inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed scientific studies on OHCA patients with at least one blood draw intra-arrest. We excluded in-hospital cardiac arrest and animal studies. There were no language, date, or study design exclusions. We conducted an electronic literature search using PubMed and Embase and hand-searched secondary literature. Data charting/synthesis were performed in duplicate using standardized data extraction templates. Results The search strategy identified 11,834 records, with 118 studies evaluating 105 blood-based biomarkers included. Only eight studies (7%) had complete reporting. The median number of studies per biomarker was 2 (interquartile range 1-4). Most studies were conducted in Asia (63 studies, 53%). Only 22 studies (19%) had blood samples collected in the prehospital setting, and only six studies (5%) had samples collected by paramedics. Pediatric patients were included in only three studies (3%). Out of eight predefined biomarker categories of use, only two were routinely assessed: prognostic (97/105, 92%) and diagnostic (61/105, 58%). Conclusions Despite a large body of literature on intra-arrest blood-based biomarkers for OHCA, gaps in methodology and knowledge are widespread.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurological prognosis after cardiac arrest remains ill-defined. Plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) may relate to poor neurological prognosis in brain-injury patients, though it has not been well studied in survivors of cardiac arrest. METHODS We performed a retrospective review and examined the association of BNP with mortality and neurological outcomes at discharge in a cohort of cardiac arrest survivors enrolled from January 2012 to December 2016 at the Wake Forest Baptist Hospital, in North Carolina. Cerebral performance category (CPC) and modified Rankin scales were calculated from the chart based on neurological evaluation performed at the time of discharge. The cohort was subdivided into quartiles based on their BNP levels after which multivariable adjusted logistic regression models were applied to assess for an association between BNP and poor neurological outcomes as defined by a CPC of 3 to 4 and a modified Rankin scale of 4 to 5. RESULTS Of the 657 patients included in the study, 254 patients survived until discharge. Among these, poor neurological status was observed in 101 (39.8%) patients that had a CPC score of 3 to 4 and 97 patients (38.2%) that had a modified Rankin scale of 4 to 5. Mean BNP levels were higher in patients with poor neurological status compared to those with good neurological status at discharge (P = .03 for CPC 3-4 and P = .02 for modified Rankin score 4-5). BNP levels however, did not vary significantly between patients that survived and those that expired (P = .22). BNP did emerge as a significant discriminator between patients with severe neurological disability at discharge when compared to those without. The area under the curve for BNP predicting a modified Rankin score of 4 to 5 was 0.800 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.756-0.844, P < .001) and for predicting CPC 3 to 4 was 0.797 (95% CI 0.756-0.838, P < .001). BNP was able to significantly improve the net reclassification index and integrated discriminatory increment (P < .05). BNP was not associated with long-term all-cause mortality (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS In survivors of either inpatient or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, increased BNP levels measured at the time of arrest predicted severe neurological disability at discharge. We did not observe an independent association between BNP levels and long-term all-cause mortality. BNP may be a useful biomarker for predicting adverse neurological outcomes in survivors of cardiac arrest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of cardiac arrest (CA) involves over-activation of systemic inflammatory responses, relative adrenal insufficiency, and glycocalyx damage. Corticosteroids have beneficial effects in preventing the perturbation of the endothelial glycocalyx. OBJECTIVES The aim of this systematic review was to determine the efficacy of glucocorticoids in patients with cardiac arrest. METHODS We searched PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, Google Scholar and Cochrane central register for relevant clinical trials and cohort studies until September 2019. RESULTS We retrieved 7 peer-reviewed published studies for the systematic review. Two studies were clinical trials evaluating 147 patients, while five illustrated cohort design, evaluating 196,192 patients. In total, 196,339 patients were assessed. There was limited evidence and conflicting results to establish a correlation between glucocorticoids and the survival of patients suffering from cardiac arrest. However, the link between these medications and survival-to-admission, survival-to discharge, and 1-year survival rates was strong and consistent in observational studies. CONCLUSION The clinical evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids in CA is limited to observational studies with inconsistent methodology and few clinical trials with small sample size. Nevertheless, it seems that glucocorticoid supplementation during and after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may have significant effects in terms of survival-to-admission, survival to discharge, 1-year survival rates and an improved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rate, especially in patients with hemodynamic instability and cardiovascular diseases (i.e., refractory hemodynamic shock). Future studies with high-quality, large-scale, long-term intervention and precise baseline characteristics are needed to evaluate the exact effective dose, duration, and efficacy of glucocorticoids in CA.

Abstract
Early prognostication of neurological outcome in comatose patients after cardiac arrest (CA) is vital for clinicians when assessing the survival time of sufferers and formulating appropriate treatment strategies to avoid the withdrawal of life‐sustaining treatment (WLST) from patients. However, there is still a lack of sensitive and specific serum biomarkers for early and accurate identification of these patients. Using an isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)‐based proteomic approach, we discovered 55 differentially expressed proteins, with 39 up‐regulated secreted serum proteins and 16 down‐regulated secreted serum proteins between three comatose CA survivors with good versus poor neurological recovery. Then, four proteins were selected and were validated via an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) approach in a larger‐scale sample containing 32 good neurological outcome patients and 46 poor neurological outcome patients, and it was confirmed that serum angiotensinogen (AGT) and alpha‐1‐antitrypsin (SERPINA1) were associated with neurological function and prognosis in CA survivors. A prognostic risk score was developed and calculated using a linear and logistic regression model based on a combination of AGT, SERPINA1 and neuron‐specific enolase (NSE) with an area under the curve of 0.865 (P < .001), and the prognostic risk score was positively correlated with the CPC value (R = 0.708, P < .001). We propose that the results of the risk score assessment not only reveal changes in biomarkers during neurological recovery but also assist in enhancing current therapeutic strategies for comatose CA survivors.

Abstract
AIM Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) secondary to ventricular fibrillation (VF) may be due to different cardiac conditions. We investigated whether copeptin, hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP in addition to clinical assessment may help to identify the etiology of SCA and yield prognostic information. METHODS AND RESULTS EDTA-blood was collected prior to or at hospital admission from patients with SCA of assumed cardiac origin. Clinical data were obtained from hospital records. VF was the primary heart rhythm in 77 patients who initially were divided into 2 groups based on whether they had an ischemic or non-ischemic mechanism as the most likely cause of SCA. They were further divided into 4 groups according to whether or not they had a history of previous heart disease. The patients were categorized by baseline clinical information, ECG, echocardiography and coronary angiography; Group 1 (n = 43): SCA with first AMI, Group 2 (n = 10): SCA with AMI and previous MI, Group 3 (n = 3): SCA without AMI and without former heart disease, Group 4 (n = 18): SCA without AMI and with known heart disease. Copeptin and hs-cTNT did not differ between patient groups, whereas NT-proBNP was significantly higher in patients with established heart disease without AMI and differed between non-AMI and AMI. Furthermore, NT-proBNP was significantly elevated in non-survivors as compared to survivors. CONCLUSION NT-proBNP provided both diagnostic and prognostic information in blood samples collected close to out-of-hospital resuscitation of VF patients, whereas copeptin and hs-cTnT failed to do so.

Abstract
N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic (NT-proBNP) is expressed in the heart and brain, and serum levels are elevated in acute heart and brain diseases. We aimed to assess the possible association between serum levels and neurological outcome and death in comatose patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Of the 939 comatose OHCA patients enrolled and randomized in the Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) trial to TTM at 33°C or 36°C for 24 hours, 700 were included in the biomarker substudy. Of these, 647 (92%) had serum levels of NT-proBNP measured 24, 48, and 72 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Neurological outcome was evaluated by the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 months. Six hundred thirty-eight patients (99%) had serum NT-proBNP levels ≥125 pg/ml. Patients with TTM at 33°C had significantly lower NT-proBNP serum levels (median 1,472 pg/ml) than those in the 36°C group (1,914 pg/ml) at 24 hours after ROSC, p <0.01 but not at 48 and 72 hours. At 24 hours, an increase in NT-proBNP quartile was associated with death (Plogrank <0.0001). In addition, NT-proBNP serum levels > median were independently associated with poor neurological outcome (odds ratio, ORCPC 2.02, CI 1.34 to 3.05, p <0.001; ORmRS 2.28, CI 1.50 to 3.46, p <0.001) adjusted for potential confounders. The association was diminished at 48 and 72 hours after ROSC. In conclusion, NT-proBNP serum levels are increased in comatose OHCA patients. Furthermore, serum NT-proBNP levels are affected by level of TTM and are associated with death and poor neurological outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molecular biomarkers have revolutionalized diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, such as troponin use in myocardial infarction. Urgent need for high-fidelity biomarkers in neurocritical care has resulted in numerous studies reporting potential candidate biomarkers. METHODS We performed an electronic literature search and systematic review of English language articles on cellular/molecular biomarkers associated with outcome and with disease-specific secondary complications in adult patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and post-cardiac arrest hypoxic ischemic encephalopathic injuries (HIE). RESULTS A total of 135 articles were included. Though a wide variety of potential biomarkers have been identified, only neuron-specific enolase has been validated in large cohorts and shows 100% specificity for poor outcome prediction in HIE patients not treated with therapeutic hypothermia. There are many promising candidate blood and CSF biomarkers in SAH, AIS, ICH, and TBI, but none yet meets criteria for routine clinical use. CONCLUSION Current studies vary significantly in patient selection, biosample collection/processing, and biomarker measurement protocols, thereby limiting the generalizability of overall results. Future large prospective studies with standardized treatment, biosample collection, and biomarker measurement and validation protocols are necessary to identify high-fidelity biomarkers in neurocritical care.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) is a major health and economic problem. Management of patients resuscitated from CA is challenging for clinicians, and the mortality rate of those who achieve return of spontaneous circulation remains high. Hypoxic brain injury, cardiovascular abnormalities and systemic ischemia/reperfusion response characterize the so-called 'postcardiac arrest syndrome', which could lead to multiple organ failure and poor outcome after CA. The magnitude of these disorders differs in individual patients, mainly based on the cause and duration of CA and on the severity of the ischemic episode. Prognostication of outcome after CA is of importance because it could help physicians on triage decisions and readdress the overall management. A number of factors are thought to influence the prognosis of patients after CA, but due to the heterogeneity of CA population and scenarios no single factor has been identified as a reliable predictor of outcome and the timing and optimal approach to prognostication is still controversial. Biomarkers represent a growing area of interest in this field, as they may provide clinicians with early information on the severity of organ dysfunction to make a decision on clinical strategies and prognosticate outcome. In this article, the authors will focus on cardiac, neurological and inflammatory biomarkers as potential predictors of outcome after CA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many approaches have been examined to try to predict patient outcome after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It has been shown that plasma DNA could predict mortality in critically ill patients but no data are available regarding its clinical value in patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In this study we investigated whether plasma DNA on arrival at the emergency room may be useful in predicting the outcome of these patients. METHODS We performed a prospective study of out-of-hospital patients with cardiac arrest who achieved return of spontaneous circulation after successful resuscitation. Cardiovascular co-morbidities and resuscitation history were recorded according to the Utstein Style. The outcome measures were 24 h and overall in-hospital mortality. Cell-free plasma DNA was measured by real-time quantitative PCR assay for the beta-globin gene in blood samples drawn within two hours after the arrest. Descriptive statistics, multiple logistic regression analysis, and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated. RESULTS Eighty-five consecutive patients were analyzed with a median time to return of spontaneous circulation of 27 minutes (interquartile range (IQR) 18 to 35). Thirty patients died within 24 h and 58 died during the hospital course. Plasma DNA concentrations at admission were higher in non-survivors at 24 h than in survivors (median 5,520 genome equivalents (GE)/ml, vs 2810 GE/ml, P < 0.01), and were also higher in patients who died in the hospital than in survivors to discharge (median 4,150 GE/ml vs 2,460 GE/ml, P < 0.01). Lactate clearance at six hours was significantly higher in 24 h survivors (P < 0.05). The area under the ROC curves for plasma DNA to predict 24-hour mortality and in-hospital mortality were 0.796 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.701 to 0.890) and 0.652 (95% CI 0.533 to 0.770). The best cut-off value of plasma DNA for 24-h mortality was 4,340 GE/ml (sensitivity 76%, specificity 83%), and for in-hospital mortality was 3,485 GE/ml (sensitivity 63%, specificity 69%). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of 24-h and of in-hospital mortality increased 1.75-fold and 1.36-fold respectively, for every 500 GE/ml increase in plasma DNA. CONCLUSIONS Plasma DNA levels may be a useful biomarker in predicting outcome after out-of hospital cardiac arrest.

An observational study. Resuscitation 2007; 74:439-45. [PMID: 17451863 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2007.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2006] [Revised: 02/01/2007] [Accepted: 02/04/2007] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND No accurate, independent biomarker has been identified that could reliably predict neurological outcome early after cardiac arrest. We speculated that brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) measured at hospital admission may predict patient outcome. METHODS BNP-levels were measured in 155 comatose cardiac arrest survivors (108 male, 58 years [IQR 49-68]) (median time to ROSC 11min; IQR 20-30) during a 6-year study period. Cardiovascular co-morbidities and resuscitation history were assessed according to the Utstein-style and patients were followed for 6-month neurological outcome measured by cerebral performance category (CPC) and survival. RESULTS Seventy patients (45%) suffered from unfavourable neurological outcome and 79 deaths (51%) occurred during the first 6 months. BNP was significantly associated with an adverse neurological outcome and mortality, independent of the prearrest health condition and cardiac arrest characteristics (median 60 pg/ml; IQR 10-230). Adjusted odds ratios for poor neurological outcome at 6 months were 1.14 (95% CI 0.51-2.53), 1.76 (95% CI 0.80-3.88) and 2.25 (95% CI 1.05-4.81), for increasing quartiles of BNP as compared to the lowest quartile. Adjusted odds ratios for mortality until 6 months were 1.09 (95% CI 0.35-3.40), 2.81 (0.80-9.90) and 4.7 (1.27-17.35) compared to the lowest quartile, respectively. CONCLUSION Brain natriuretic peptide levels on admission predict neurological outcome at 6 months and survival after cardiac arrest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two randomized studies have shown a neurological benefit of therapeutic hypothermia in comatose survivors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, but there are no studies of the cardiac neurohormone of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients treated with hypothermia. METHODS AND RESULTS A prospective study was conducted of 109 comatose patients who were treated with mild hypothermia after out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest due to cardiac causes and whose BNP level was measured on arrival at the emergency room. The primary endpoint was a favorable neurological outcome at the time of hospital discharge. A total of 45 of the 109 patients had a favorable neurological outcome. The unadjusted rate of a favorable neurological outcome decreased in a stepwise fashion among patients in increasing quartiles of BNP level (p<0.001) and this association remained significant in subgroups of patients. The BNP cutoff value of 80 pg/ml for a favorable neurological outcome had an accuracy of 87.2%. In the multiple logistic-regression analysis, a BNP level of 80 pg/ml or less was an independent predictor of favorable neurological outcome. CONCLUSIONS The measurement of BNP was found to provide valuable information regarding the neurological outcome of comatose survivors treated with mild hypothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to cardiac causes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) is a cardiac marker useful for early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), few data are available on its prognostic value. The objective of this study is to clarify the prognostic value of H-FABP in patients with a serious condition. METHODS AND PATIENTS We conducted a prospective study of 617 patients who presented to the emergency department with a serious condition. The H-FABP levels on arrival at the emergency department were divided into four groups using their quartiles. The endpoint was death from any causes in-hospital. RESULTS H-FABP ranged from 1.2 to 2,300 ng/ml, with a median of 19.9 ng/ml, a 25%-value of 6.7 ng/ml and 75%-value of 54.0 ng/ml. The unadjusted rate of the mortality increased progressively with increasing H-FABP quartile point (11% for quartile-I, 22% for quartile-II, 36% for quartile-III, and 38% for quartile-IV; p<0.001). After adjustment for age, gender, systolic blood pressure and the presence or absence of cardiovascular disease, H-FABP was the independent factor to predict the mortality. CONCLUSION H-FABP has proven to be an independent factor for prognosis in patients with a serious condition on arrival at the emergency department.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although it is not rare to encounter patients with plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels unequivalent to the severity of heart failure (HF), there has been little investigation to clarify the causative background of this phenomenon. METHODS AND RESULTS Among the 1,838 outpatients whose plasma BNP was measured, persistently increased levels of BNP above 500 pg/ml was observed for more than 6 months in 14 subjects with few HF symptoms. Among these, all of 4 patients without any following cardiac events (E-/high) for 12 months showed hypertrophic nonobstructive cardiomyopathy (HNCM). When we compared the clinical parameters of these patients with those of 22 HNCM patients without any following cardiac events whose plasma BNP levels were less than 200 pg/ml, there were only 2 clinical characteristics to be distinguished: (i) plasma renin activity (PRA) and norepinephrine (NE) levels were low in spite of markedly increased levels of plasma BNP in E-/high HNCM; and (ii) echocardiographic investigation revealed that only global left atrial fractional shortening was significantly lower in E-/high HNCM. CONCLUSIONS Plasma BNP levels do not always reflect the severity of HF in HNCM. It might be considered to utilize other clinical parameters such as NE and PRA to recognize HF severity in such patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between plasma concentrations of endothelin (ET)-1 and clinical outcome (including mortality) and left ventricular (LV) systolic function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS AND RESULTS The study group comprised 110 consecutive first-AMI patients who were successfully reperfused by primary coronary intervention. Plasma ET-1 concentrations were evaluated 24 h from onset and the patients were divided into 2 groups according to the median value, either a high group (H group: > or = 2.90 pg/ml plasma ET-1; n = 55) or low group (L group: < 2.90 pg/ml plasma ET-1; n = 55). Major complications and LV systolic function were monitored in the 2 groups. Both highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) showed a significant positive correlation with ET-1 (BNP: r = 048, p < 0.0001, hs-CRP: r = 0.43, p < 0.001). Chronic stage left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) were significantly poorer in the H group (LVEF: 51+/-15% vs 60+/-13%, p = 0.003, LVEDVI: 74+/-19 ml/m2 vs 66+/-14 ml/m2, p < 0.05). There were significantly more major complications in the H group than in the L group (cardiogenic shock: 18% vs 5%, p = 0.04; cardiac death: 13% vs 0%, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In the setting of AMI, plasma ET-1 concentrations may be closely related to LV systolic dysfunction and poor patient outcome, including mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although there is a close connection between emergency medical services (EMS) system and the outcome of out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation (VF), few data are available regarding the situation in Japan. METHODS AND RESULTS A prospective multicenter study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was conducted according to the Utstein guidelines. A total of 4,383 patients who were given cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by EMS personnel for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were enrolled. The proportion of VF or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) as the first cardiac rhythm after cardiac arrest was 16.2% with a mean call-to-initial-recorded-electrocardiogram (ECG) interval of 11.1 min. In a subgroup of patients with witnessed collapse, the predicted incidence of VF or pulseless VT was 62.7% at the time of cardiac arrest, and the decline accelerated with every minute that the collapse-to-initial ECG interval was delayed. Multivariate analysis showed that the odds ratio for VF or pulseless VT after collapse-to-initial ECG interval was 0.91 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.89-0.94, p<0.001), and 1.54 (95%CI, 1.24-1.97, p<0.001) after bystander CPR. CONCLUSIONS In Japan, VF occurred in 63% of cases at the time of cardiac arrest and the performance of bystander CPR appeared to prolong VF.
