The purpose of this study is to assess the prognostic value of absolute value and kinetic of neurofilament light chain (NFL) collected at different time points (at admission, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 96h, and day 7 after ICU admission) in predicting poor and good neurological outcome in comatose patients after cardiac arrest.
Patients admitted to the ICU for cardiac arrest,
Patients who regained consciousness following in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest,
Patients in a coma upon arrival in the ICU, defined by a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score <8,
Patients included in the AfterROSC2 cohort,
Terminally ill patients (death expected within 3 hours of admission to the ICU),
Minors,
Patients under legal guardianship,
Pregnant women,
