ABSTRACT: Objective
This meta-analysis aimed to review the available evidence and evaluate the necessity of immediate coronary angiography (CAG) to obtain positive outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients without ST segment elevation.Data sources
Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and SinoMed databases.Study selection
We included observational and case-control studies of outcomes among individuals without ST segment elevation experiencing OHCA who had immediate, delayed, or no CAG.Data extraction
We extracted study details, as well as patient characteristics and outcomes.Data synthesis
Six studies (n?=?2665) investigating mortality until discharge demonstrated a significant increase in survival benefit with early CAG (odds ratio [OR]?=?1.78; 95%CI?=?1.51-2.11; I?=?81%; P?ConclusionsOur meta-analysis demonstrates that there may be significant benefits in performing immediate CAG on patients who experience OHCA without ST segment elevation.
