Factors predicting the return of spontaneous circulation rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in China: Development and evaluation of predictive nomogram
Abstract
Background: This study aimed to construct and internally validate a probability of the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rate nomogram in a Chinese population of patients with cardiac arrest (CA). Methods: Patients with CA receiving standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were studied retrospectively. The minor absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis and multivariable logistic regression evaluated various demographic and clinicopathological characteristics. A predictive nomogram was constructed and evaluated for accuracy and reliability using C-index, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration plot, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: A cohort of 508 patients who had experienced CA and received standard CPR was randomly divided into training (70 %, n = 356) and validation groups (30 %, n = 152) for the study. LASSO regression analysis and multivariable logistic regression revealed that thirteen variables, such as age, CPR start time, Electric defibrillation, Epinephrine, Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), CPR Compression duration, The postoperative prothrombin (PT) time, Lactate (Lac), Cardiac troponin (cTn), Potassium (K+), D-dimer, Hypertension (HBP), and Diabetes mellitus (DM), were found to be independent predictors of the ROSC rate of CPR. The nomogram model showed exceptional discrimination, with a C-index of 0.933 (95 % confidence interval: 0.882–0.984). Even in the internal validation, a remarkable C-index value of 0.926 (95 % confidence interval: 0.875–0.977) was still obtained. The accuracy and reliability of the model were also verified by the AUC of 0.923 in the training group and 0.926 in the validation group. The calibration curve showed the model agreed with the actual results. DCA suggested that the predictive nomogram had clinical utility. Conclusions: A predictive nomogram model was successfully established and proved to identify the influencing factors of the ROSC rate in patients with CA. During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, adjusting the emergency treatment based on the influence factors on ROSC rate is suggested to improve the treatment rate of patients with CA.
