Physical, psychological, cognitive, social health outcomes, and health-related quality of life in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors and co-survivors: 3-month outcomes from the Quality Cardiac Arrest Survivorship cohort study (QualiCAS).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Survivors and co-survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) experience disruptions in returning to normality. There is limited understanding of OHCA-related sequelae and their impact on co-survivors. This study describes the 3-month post-discharge health outcomes among OHCA survivors and co-survivors in the Quality Cardiac Arrest Survivorship cohort study (QualiCAS). Methods: We conducted a prospective, population-based cohort study, enrolling subjects from 1 February 2023 to 30 November 2024. Physical, psychological, cognitive, and social health, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and caregiver burden were described separately for survivors and co-survivors. HRQoL of survivors and co-survivors was compared against age-, sex-, and ethnicity-adjusted Singapore population norm for EQ-5D-5L. Results: 62 survivors and 36 co-survivors completed 3-month assessments. 9.7 %, 6.5 %, 3.6 % of survivors screened positive for anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), respectively. Survivors experienced mild cognitive impairment (43.1 %), impaired mobility (41.1 %), and weak muscle strength (39.7 %). Functional independence was high, and 73.9 % of survivors returned to employment. Survivors' HRQoL was lower compared to the general population (0.90 vs. 0.96). Co-survivors reported experiencing caregiving burden (41.7 %), with 22.2 %, 11.1 % and 6.1 % screening positive for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, respectively. Co-survivors' HRQoL was comparable to the general population (0.94 vs. 0.94). Conclusion: A significant subset of OHCA survivors experienced limitations in physical and cognitive functioning and return to work, and lower HRQoL. Psychological distress and caregiving burden were high among co-survivors. Our findings underscore the importance of systematic assessments of multi-dimensional aspects of health and referral to multi-component rehabilitation for both survivors and co-survivors.
