Summary

This study compares different scoring systems to predict brain damage in patients admitted to the ICU after cardiac arrest. Researchers will calculate early prognosis scores using clinical and lab values to see which system best identifies patients at risk. The goal is to help doctors make better treatment decisions and inform families. The study plans to enroll 4,500 adults who are comatose after cardiac arrest.
