Abstract:Objective To analyze the short-term prognostic value of neuron specific enolasein (NSE) combined with arterial blood lactate (ABL) on patients with cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods Totally 43 patients with restoration of spontaneous circulation after CPR were collected in our hospital. All patients were divided into observation group (24 cases who were dead in one month or in vegetative state or in a simple life without selfcare) and control group (19 cases who were with clear mind within one month or in a simple life with self-care and minor neurological disorder). The indexes of serum NSE, ABL, NT-proBNP, oxygenation index (OI), APACHE II score, GCS score and GOS score were compared between two groups. The relative risk factors to the GOS score were confirmed by single-factor linear analysis and multiple linear regression. The best cut-off points of serum NSE and ABL were confirmed by the area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating curve (ROC). Results Compared with control group, indexes of serum NSE, ABL and APACHE II score of observation group were higher (P < 0.05), but indexes of GCS and GOS of observation group were lower (P < 0.05); there was no difference in level between OI and NT-proBNP (P > 0.05). Serum NSE, ABL, APACHE II score and GCS were confirmed to be related to GOS score after CRP by single-factor linear analysis (r = 0.808, 0.734, 0.577 and 0.589, P = 0.015, 0.030, 0.041 and 0.040). Multiple linear regression showed that serum NSE and ABL were independent risk factors of GOS score. The serum levels of NSE ( ≤ 84.5 ng/ml) and ABL ( ≤ 7.25 mmol/L) were the best predicted points to the prognosis of patients with CPR (AUC = 0.832, 0.768, and P = 0.028 and 0.033). Conclusion NSE combined with ABL can predict the short-term prognosis of patients with CPR.
