Factors associated with large watery stools after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and their relationship with neurological outcomes: A retrospective observational study

After out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, early-onset large watery stools is strongly associated with poor neurological outcomes, potentially serving as a clinical indicator of intestinal ischaemia and systemic inflammation. Incorporating coagulation and metabolic markers into predictive models may facilitate early identification of high-risk patients, aiding timely diagnosis and intervention.
