Physical, psychological, cognitive, social health outcomes, and health-related quality of life in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors and co-survivors: 3-month outcomes from the Quality Cardiac Arrest Survivorship cohort study (QualiCAS)

A significant subset of OHCA survivors experienced limitations in physical and cognitive functioning and return to work, and lower HRQoL. Psychological distress and caregiving burden were high among co-survivors. Our findings underscore the importance of systematic assessments of multi-dimensional aspects of health and referral to multi-component rehabilitation for both survivors and co-survivors.
