Health status of survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest six months later.

L Bergner, M Bergner, A P Hallstrom, M Eisenberg and L A Cobb

The health status of long-term survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was studied six months after the event. Although Sickness Impact Profile scores for arrest survivors were higher (worse) than scores of enrollees in a prepaid closed panel health plan, in most cases problems of survivors were not incapacitating. Approximately three-fifths of survivors reported same or better memory function and stair climbing ability compared to that at time of arrest. Three-fifths of those who had been working continued to do so.
