BACKGROUND: The optimal blood @entity413 target during the early hospitalisation of @entity772 survivors of out-of-hospital @entity1167 (OHCA) has not been established. METHODS: In a retrospective cohort study, we examined clinical outcomes in relation to mean blood @entity413 during the first 96 hours of hospital admission in @entity772 survivors of OHCA with an initial shockable rhythm. Mean blood @entity413 was assessed as a continuous (primary analysis) and categorical variable: <6 mmol/L, 6 to <8 mmol/L and    8 mmol/L. Co-primary outcomes were the rates of @entity204 during the index hospitalisation and severe @entity51 at discharge. We used multivariable logistic regression analyses to adjust for baseline differences in @entity1 and index event characteristics. RESULTS: Among 122 eligible @entity1 , @entity204 and severe @entity51 occurred in 29 (24%) and 40 (33%) @entity1 , respectively. Higher mean blood @entity413 levels during the first 96   hours of admission were associated with increased odds of @entity204 (odds ratio (OR): 1.50; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.17-1.92; p   =   0.001) and severe @entity51 (OR:   1.42; 95%   CI: 1.11-1.80; p   =   0.004). The associations between mean blood @entity413 and the odds of @entity204 (OR:   1.35; 95%   CI:   1.04-1.76; p   =   0.02) and severe @entity51 (OR: 1.28; 95%   CI: 1.00-1.64; p   =   0.05) persisted after adjusting for age, time from @entity1167 to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and vasoactive agent use. There was no interaction between age, time from @entity1167 to ROSC or a history of @entity6 and the relationship between mean blood @entity413 and co-primary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: In @entity772 survivors of OHCA with initial shockable rhythms, higher mean blood @entity413 levels during the first 96 hours of admission are associated with increased rates of @entity204 and severe @entity51 .
