Authors' conclusion

In this multicentre, observational, prospective study on patients hospitalized for CS, lower OPP on admission was associated with significantly higher in-hospital all-cause mortality.

Study context

Population
Consecutive patients with AMI-related or acutely decompensated HF-related cardiogenic shock, multicentre Altshock-2 registry, January 2020–November 2023
Participants
316 patients
Exposure
Low vs high organ perfusion pressure
Outcome
In-hospital all-cause mortality

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Low OPP vs High OPPEstimate (95% CI)P value

HR 1.757(1.208–2.556)
P = 0.003
adjusted for age and SOFA score
