The role of in-hospital traumatic distress after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in later fatigue, sleep quality, and health-related quality of life
More than a third of OHCA survivors self-reported fatigue at three-month follow-up. In-hospital symptoms of traumatic distress were associated with higher odds of fatigue. While these findings underscore the potential value of early identification of traumatic distress, further research is needed to evaluate the benefits of screening and to identify interventions to support recovery after cardiac arrest.
