    Abstract Objective: To conduct a nationwide retrospective cohort study to assess trends and hospitalization-associated outcomes in patients with Wernicke encephalopathy.
    Patients and methods: In this nationwide retrospective cohort study, we used in-hospital claims data of patients hospitalized with Wernicke encephalopathy in Switzerland from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2020. We estimated incidence rates per 100,000 person-years among the overall Swiss population stratified by alcohol and non-alcohol-induced Wernicke encephalopathy. The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included progression to Korsakoff syndrome and 1-year hospital readmission. We estimated odds ratios (ORs) for binary outcomes.
    Results: It was found that 4098 of 4393 hospitalizations (93.3%) for Wernicke encephalopathy during the 8-year study were alcohol-related. Incidence rates for hospitalizations were 14-fold higher in alcohol-related compared with non-alcohol-related Wernicke encephalopathy (5.43 vs 0.39 per 100,000 person-years). The risk for in-hospital mortality was significantly lower in patients with alcohol-related vs non-alcohol-related Wernicke encephalopathy (3.2% vs 8.5%; adjusted OR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.62). Patients with alcohol-related Wernicke encephalopathy had higher risk for development of Korsakoff syndrome (16.9% vs 1.7%; adjusted OR, 10.64; 95% CI, 4.37 to 25.92) and 1-year hospital readmission (31.6% vs 18.7%; adjusted OR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.88).
    Conclusion: In this Swiss nationwide cohort study, Wernicke encephalopathy was a rare but serious cause for hospitalization and mainly alcohol-related. Patients with alcohol-related Wernicke encephalopathy had lower risks of in-hospital mortality but were more likely to develop Korsakoff syndrome and be readmitted to the hospital.

    Abstract Purpose: Relatives of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may suffer from adverse psychological outcomes. We assessed prevalence and risk factors for depression and anxiety in such relatives 90 days after ICU admission.
    Materials and methods: This study included consecutive relatives of OHCA patients admitted to the ICU of University Hospital in Basel, Switzerland. Relatives were interviewed upon admission regarding psychosocial risk factors and satisfaction with communication. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were assessed by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) 90 days after inclusion.
    Results: Of 101 included relatives, 17% and 13% of relatives reported symptoms of depression and anxiety, respectively. Witnessing cardiopulmonary resuscitation was associated with depression (gender- and age-adjusted odds ratio [OR] 6.71; 95%CI 1.27 to 35.34; p = .025). Satisfaction with information and decision-making was associated with lower risk of depression (adjusted OR 0.95; 95%CI 0.91 to 0.99; p = .013). Unemployment (adjusted OR 10.42; 95%CI 1.18 to 92.35; p = .035) and lower perceived health status were associated with anxiety (adjusted OR 0.93; 95%CI 0.87 to 0.99; p = .025).
    Conclusions: Many relatives of OHCA patients report symptoms of depression and anxiety after 90 days. Improving initial care and communication may help to reduce these risks.

    Abstract Aim: Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) increases in response to brain injury and is recommended for outcome prediction in cardiac arrest patients. Our aim was to investigate whether NSE measured at different days after a cardiac arrest and its kinetics would improve the prognostic ability of two cardiac arrest specific risk scores.
    Methods: Within this prospective observational study, we included consecutive adult patients after cardiac arrest. We calculated the Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) score and the Cardiac Arrest Hospital Prognosis (CAHP) score upon ICU admission and measured serum NSE upon admission and days 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7. We calculated logistic regression models to study associations of scores and NSE levels with neurological outcome defined by Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale and in-hospital death.
    Results: From 336 included patients, 180 (54%) survived until hospital discharge, of which 150 (45%) had a good neurological outcome. NSE at day 3 showed the highest prognostic accuracy (discrimination) for neurological outcome (area under the curve (AUC) 0.89) and in-hospital mortality (AUC 0.88). These results were robust in reclassification statistics and across different subgroups. NSE kinetics with admission levels serving as a baseline did not further improve prognostication. NSE on day 3 significantly improved discrimination of both clinical risk scores (CAHP from AUC 0.81 to 0.91; OHCA from AUC 0.79 to 0.89).
    Conclusion: NSE measured at day 3 significantly improves clinical risk scores for outcome prediction in cardiac arrest patients and may thus add to clinical decision making about escalation or withdrawal of therapy in this vulnerable patient population.

    Abstract Aim: Several scores are available to predict mortality and neurological outcome in cardiac arrest patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of the study was to externally validate the prognostic value of four previously published risk scores.
    Methods: For this observational, single-center study, we prospectively included 349 consecutive adult cardiac arrest patients upon ICU admission. We calculated two cardiac arrest specific risk scores (OHCA and CAHP) and two general severity of illness scores (APACHE II and SAPS II). The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. Secondary endpoints were neurological outcome at hospital discharge and 30-day mortality.
    Results: 170 patients (49%) died until hospital discharge. All scores were independently associated with outcomes in logistic regression analysis and showed acceptable discrimination for in-hospital mortality with highest AUCs of the cardiac arrest specific risk scores (OHCA: 0.80 (95%CI 0.75-0.85) and CAHP: 0.84 (95%CI 0.79-0.88) compared to the severity of illness scores (APACHE II: 0.78 (95%CI 0.73-0.83) and SAPS II: 0.77 (95%CI 0.72-0.82). Results were robust in subgroup analysis except for worse performance in elderly patients (>75 years) and patients with respiratory cause of cardiac arrest. Results were similar for 30-days mortality and slightly higher for neurological outcome.
    Conclusions: This study confirms the good prognostic performance of cardiac arrest specific scores to predict mortality and neurological outcomes in cardiac arrest patients. Routine use of OHCA or CAHP score helps to objectively risk stratify these vulnerable patients and thereby may improve therapeutic decisions.
