Understanding long-term outcomes for children who survive cardiac arrest
P-ICECAP Extended
This study looks at how surviving a cardiac arrest affects children as they grow up and how it impacts their families, aiming to understand their skills and challenges over time.

What this research studies
This research investigates the long-term effects of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest on children, focusing on their functional abilities and the burden experienced by their caregivers. By utilizing data from a major multi-center clinical trial, the study aims to assess how children who survived cardiac arrest perform as they grow older, particularly in terms of cognitive and adaptive skills. The research will also explore the factors that influence these outcomes, providing insights into the challenges faced by families. Through comprehensive follow-up, the study seeks to fill gaps in knowledge regarding the needs of these children and their caregivers beyond the first year post-arrest.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are children aged 0-11 years who have survived an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Not a fit: Patients who have not experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest or are older than 11 years may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved support and interventions for children recovering from cardiac arrest and their families.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown significant caregiver burden and disability in children post-cardiac arrest, indicating that this research builds on established findings but aims to explore longer-term outcomes, making it a novel extension.
