Lower mean heart rate variability index (mHRVi) in the first 12 hours after pediatric cardiac arrest moderately predicts 1-week mortality and poor neurologic outcomes.
Does lower mHRVi over the first 12 hours of PICU admission predict 1-week in-hospital mortality and poor neurologic outcomes in pediatric patients after cardiac arrest?
Lower heart rate variability in the first 12 hours after pediatric cardiac arrest may serve as a useful prognostic marker for short-term mortality and poor neurologic outcomes.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Lower mHRVi over the first 12 hours of PICU admission after cardiac arrest demonstrated moderate discrimination for 1-week in-hospital mortality and poor neurologic outcomes. These findings suggest that mHRVi may serve as a helpful adjunct within multimodal prognostication frameworks, though further validation in larger, diverse cohorts is required before clinical application.
