Résumé

Fever after cardiac arrest may impact outcome. We aimed to assess the incidence of fever in post-cardiac arrest patients, factors predicting fever and its association with functional outcome in patients treated without targeted temperature management (TTM). The FINNRESUSCI observational cohort study in 2010-2011 included intensive care unit (ICU)-treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients from all five Finnish university hospitals and 14 of 15 central hospitals. This post hoc analysis included those FINNRESUSCI study patients who were not treated with TH. We defined fever as at least one temperature measurement of ≥37.8°C within 72 h of ICU admission. The primary outcome was favourable functional outcome at 12 months, defined as cerebral performance category (CPC) of 1 or 2. Binary logistic regression models including witnessed arrest, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), initial rhythm and delay of return of spontaneous circulation were used to compare the functional outcomes of the groups. There were 67,428 temperature measurements from 192 patients, of whom 89 (46%) experienced fever. Twelve-month CPC was missing in 7 patients, and 51 (28%) patients had favourable functional outcome at 12 months. The patients with shockable initial rhythms had a lower incidence of fever within 72 h of ICU admission (28% vs. 72%, p < .01), and the patients who experienced fever had a longer median return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) delay (20 [IQR 10-30] vs. 14 [IQR 9-22] min, p < .01).

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Fever after cardiac arrest may impact outcome. We aimed to assess the incidence of fever in post-cardiac arrest patients, factors predicting fever and its association with functional outcome in patients treated without targeted temperature management (TTM).
METHODS METHODS
The FINNRESUSCI observational cohort study in 2010-2011 included intensive care unit (ICU)-treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients from all five Finnish university hospitals and 14 of 15 central hospitals. This post hoc analysis included those FINNRESUSCI study patients who were not treated with TH. We defined fever as at least one temperature measurement of ≥37.8°C within 72 h of ICU admission. The primary outcome was favourable functional outcome at 12 months, defined as cerebral performance category (CPC) of 1 or 2. Binary logistic regression models including witnessed arrest, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), initial rhythm and delay of return of spontaneous circulation were used to compare the functional outcomes of the groups.
RESULTS RESULTS
There were 67,428 temperature measurements from 192 patients, of whom 89 (46%) experienced fever. Twelve-month CPC was missing in 7 patients, and 51 (28%) patients had favourable functional outcome at 12 months. The patients with shockable initial rhythms had a lower incidence of fever within 72 h of ICU admission (28% vs. 72%, p < .01), and the patients who experienced fever had a longer median return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) delay (20 [IQR 10-30] vs. 14 [IQR 9-22] min, p < .01). Only initial non-shockable rhythm (OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.51-5.94) was associated with increased risk of fever within the first 72 h of ICU admission. Neither time in minutes nor area (minutes 
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Half of OHCA patients not treated with TTM developed fever. We found no association between fever and outcome.
