BACKGROUND: To determine if the density distribution proportion of Hounsfield unit (HUdp) in head computed tomography (HCT) images can be used to quantitatively measure cerebral edema in survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
METHODS: This retrospective observational study included adult comatose OHCA survivors who underwent HCT within 6 h (first) and 72-96 h (second), all performed using the same CT scanner. Semi-automated quantitative analysis was used to identify differences in HUdp at specific HU ranges across the intracranial component based on neurological outcome. Cerebral edema was defined as the increased displacement of the sum of HUdp values (ΔHUdp) at a specific range between two HCT scans. Poor neurological outcome was defined as cerebral performance categories 3-5 at 6 months after OHCA.
RESULTS: Twenty-three (42%) out of 55 patients had poor neurological outcome. Significant HUdp differences were observed between good and poor neurological outcomes in the second HCT scan at HU = 1-14, 23-35, and 39-56 (all P < 0.05). Only the ΔHUdp = 23-35 range showed a significant increase and correlation in the poor neurological outcome group (4.90 vs. -0.72, P < 0.001) with the sum of decreases in the other two ranges (r = 0.97, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated a significant association between ΔHUdp = 23-35 range and poor neurological outcomes (adjusted OR, 1.12; 95% CI: 1.02-1.24; P = 0.02).
CONCLUSION: In this cohort study, the increased displacement in ΔHUdp = 23-35 range is independently associated with poor neurological outcome and provides a quantitative assessment of cerebral edema formation in OHCA survivors.
