Abstract:Objective To develop and validate a nomogram predictive model for assessing the risk of secondary cardiovascular events in patients who successfully achieve Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) following non-traumatic Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA).Methods This study included 210 patients who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and achieved ROSC after OHCA, treated at Lishui People's Hospital from January 2019 to January 2024. They were followed for one month and categorized into two groups based on the occurrence of cardiovascular events: 22 patients without events and 188 with events. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the general information and clinical indicators of two groups of patients. Through multifactorial logistic regression analysis, the risk factors for cardiovascular events in patients with ROSC after CPR for OHCA were identified. Based on these results, a nomogram predictive model was established and validated using a calibration curve.Results Univariate correlation analysis indicated significant differences between the two groups in Charlson Comorbidity Index (WIC) scores, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) scores, emergency response time, prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) time, epinephrine dosage, and ambulance arrival time (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified longer ambulance arrival times [O^R = 16.608 (95% CI: 1.417, 194.589)], high WIC scores [O^R = 8.319 (95% CI: 1.791, 38.634)], high APACHE Ⅱ scores [O^R = 1.466 (95% CI: 1.064, 2.020)], longer emergency response times [O^R = 1.756 (95% CI: 1.256, 2.456)], prehospital CPR duration [O^R = 2.555 (95% CI: 1.408, 4.635)], higher epinephrine dosages [O^R = 9.677 (95% CI: 2.216, 42.268)] as independent risk factors for secondary cardiovascular events in post-ROSC OHCA patients (P < 0.05). The developed nomogram prediction model effectively predicted cardiovascular events, and the calibration curve validation demonstrated good predictive accuracy.Conclusion WIC score, APACHE Ⅱ score, emergency response time, pre-hospital CPR duration, epinephrine dosage, and ambulance arrival time are independent risk factors for cardiovascular events in patients following non-traumatic OHCA who achieve ROSC. This model provides a valuable predictive tool for clinical use, aiding in the identification of high-risk patients and the implementation of appropriate preventative measures.
