Lower post-rewarming body control temperature is associated with 1-year mortality of out-ofhospital cardiac arrest

Key Points

• Low body temperature at 72 hours is linked to higher 1-year mortality rates.
• A marked increase in mortality risk may occur with body temperatures post-rewarming below normal levels.
• This assessment utilized data from patients who underwent therapeutic temperature management after cardiac arrest.
• These findings highlight the need for careful monitoring of body temperature following resuscitation efforts in similar cases.
