End Stage Renal Disease Modifies the Effect of Targeted Temperature Management after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Kidney function can affect the permeability of the blood-brain barrier; thus, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) may alter the effects of targeted temperature management (TTM) on the neurological outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. We aimed to investigate whether the interaction effect of TTM on outcomes after OHCA was observed among patients with and without ESRD.
