Aims: Hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a common complication and a major cause of death. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and neurofilament light chain (NfL) are released after brain injury and elevated concentrations of both are associated with poor neurological outcome. We explored the influence of haemolysis on the prognostic performance of NSE and NfL. Methods and results: The study is based on post hoc analyses of a randomized, single-centre, double-blinded, controlled trial (IMICA), where comatose OHCA patients of presumed cardiac cause were included. Free-haemoglobin was measured at admission to quantify haemolysis. NSE and NfL were measured after 48 h to estimate the extent of brain injury. Montreal Cognitive Assessment score (MoCA) was assessed to evaluate neurocognitive impairments. Seventy-three patients were included and divided into two groups by the median free-haemoglobin at admission. No group differences in mortality or poor neurological outcome were observed. The high-admission free-haemoglobin group had a significantly higher concentration of NSE compared to the low-admission free-haemoglobin group (27.4 µmol/L vs. 19.6 µmol/L, P = 0.03), but no differences in NfL. The performance of NSE and NfL in predicting poor neurological outcome were high for both, but NfL was numerically higher [area under the ROC (AUROC) 0.90 vs. 0.96, P = 0.09]. Furthermore, NfL, but not NSE, was inversely correlated with MoCA score, R2 = 0.21, P = 0.006. Conclusion: High free-haemoglobin at admission was associated with higher NSE concentration after 48 h, but, the performance of NSE and NfL in predicting poor neurological outcome among OHCA patients were good regardless of early haemolysis. Only elevated NfL concentrations were associated with cognitive impairments. Graphical abstract [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
